Legal Question in Family Law in India

My female friend got married in india in 2001 n went to usa immediately. She then acquired usa citizenship along with her husband . She has been asking for divorce for a long time but her in laws threaten her not to go ahead or they will harm her. She now wants to go back to usa to take divorce particularly in a state like nevada where the laws are lax regarding divorce. Is that the correct option? Since she is a usa citizen would her divorce would be valid in india? How long wud it take for her to win a divorce in india. She doesn't have claims regarding alimony or property though she has a child.
