My question involves a marriage in the state of: California where my friend an international student married a U.S citizen but the man she married disappeared from her and she decided to get back to Africa. There is no communication between the two parties since 2006 and they did not live together. How can my friend process the divorce/ annul the marriage while in Africa though she does not have a marriage certificate from the U.S? What would be the procedure since the marriage is in the U.S marriage records and not in Africa.
