there is no procedure to file for divorce without documentation proof. how would the court be aware of the fact that the marriage was solemnized between you both. Secondly if he is threatening you, you can file a police complaint against the same.

You can nullify the marriage without the marriage certificate....
If he threatens n make u do something then its a matter u need to let the police know.
During trial the important facts will come to surface

Apply for a certified copy of the original court marriage certificate from the concerned Marriage Registrar's court. Then, file a suit in family court in the district where you live, seeking decree of divorce under the Special Marriage Act. Your facts are a bit unclear as if you are Christian and he is Hindu, then the issue is that of religion, not of caste. If you converted before marriage then marriage should have been under the Special marriage act and not under Hindu Marriage Act. These may be good grounds for saying that the marriage was registered under a fraud/misrepresentation, but you have to first apply to the Registrar where your marriage was registered.
