If this is not possible then file a divorce petition in India and you don't have to come here as a power of attorney can be given anybody who is trustworthy and you will have to come in the end.

The pr status was given to you because of your husband therefore divorce would affect your pr status although more details are required so as to better appreciate the controversy.
