Secret divorce! I believe no such creature as secret divorce exists in law. Insofar as ex-parte proceedings are concerned, it means that the Court will proceed with the case in the absence of the defendant party, provided that notice/summons on the proceedings were duly served upon the defendant but the defendant failed to appear before the Court. Even in case of ex-parte proceedings though, relief is not a matter of automatic right and the case of the Plaintiff has to stand on its own feet, irrespective of the defense.

PS: One word of advice, steer clear of unscrupulous elements promising anything like a 'secret divorce' or arranging an ex-parte divorce. It would only harm you in the long run.
