Praveen,

You would file for divorce in the jurisdiction where you live. Once the divorce has been finalized, it is recognized elsewhere. It's up to the respondent to decide whether to appear in court or not. If he or she doesn't respond, then the divorce will be granted anyway.

According to this referenced article, impotence is considered one of the five grounds for divorce IN INDIA. All Indians don't live in India or practice Hinduism; according to the Hindu Marriage Act (link: http://www.sudhirlaw.com/HMA55.htm), you are correct that impotence is grounds for rendering a marriage voidable, but per the referenced article, this article is correct in giving the five grounds for divorce acceptable in India, even if it's not accepted as a grounds for divorce by Hindus worldwide.

Also, here's a link to the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act, which does say impotence is a grounds for divorce:

THE FACTS IN THE ARTICLE ARE WRONG IMPOTENCE IS NOT AGROUND FOR DIVORCE IN HINDU MARRIAGE ACT IT IS AGROUND FOR DECLARING THE MARRIAGE NULL AND VOID AT THE OPTION OF THE AGGRIEVED PARTY.

Divorce,

The evidence would have to be substantial for the Court to accept it. A lawyer can explain what specific type of evidence would be considered acceptable.
