Depends what all you are seeking from this divorce / separation.

Since your marriage was initially void in law, you do not need any divorce for separation. However, if you want to claim any money for maintenance / alimony / support, etc., your claim with status of a 'wife' may still be maintainable.

You may also be entitled to compensation / reliefs under the Domestic Violence Laws.
