Under British law you are unable to marry in the UK until you are able to provide documented proof of divorce from a previous marriage.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

She can apply for "khula" in court which will be issued in absentia since there has been no contact. After submitting court order in union council she can get divorce certificate which should be accepted.
