If there is customary divorce in her community then ask her to do so. The customary divorce is recognized under Indian law.

There can be no parallel judicial system.
If existence of custom can be proved,then a suit of declaration that marriage stood dissolved by a meeting of the the two spouses in presence of witnesses would be sufficient.Mukhi has no right to decide divorce proceedings.He can simply be a witness to a fact of divorce that takes by custom between spouses of marriage.
