She will continue to be considered Mrs. Deshmukh then, as he has not disappeared for > 7 years. But here's my food for thought on HIS reason of disappearance, which can become valid grounds for divorce (based on FFs that I have read on this very forum + real cases):
(a) Bigamy: If he was married to someone before Pallavi, she is obviously not bound to him + no consummation + pretending to be dead and operating under a different identity elsewhere for 2 years.
(b) Financial Fraud: If he has embezzled funds, done window dressing of accounts even before those 2 years of operation, and shown loss when the shop was in profit, gambling away the funds for an easy win-loss scenario, he should be caught and jailed!
(c) Physical Violence: If there is a witness of how this guy pretended to be nice in front of his fam and Pallavi, but was actually an abusive prick who did not treat girls right in Hyderabad @ any level (mild --> intense; iTV standards), and that is why his unsuspecting parents were tricked into looking for a rishta in Kolhapur, and RR/Pallu can bring in witnesses to prove the same.
(d) Mental Disorder: If Pallu is forced to return back to the D-fam, and she finds that he is exhibiting signs of a mental disorder that could possibly put her life in peril, then it is possible to appeal for a divorce.
(e) Far-fetched theory, but if he has converted from Hinduism to Islam, to ensure he can be granted polygamy.
