Yes. Police reports and arrest records are a matter of public information. The Police department has a legal obligation to make this information public, and once its a matter of public record, anybody can re-print it.

The best form of divorce in India for Hindu/Christian/Civil marriages for the time being is " Divorce by mutual consent" where both husband & wife file joint petition for divorce in the Family Court of the district where they both reside or their marriage was solemnized.
The process of divorce by mutual consent is quite simple but require their personal presence in the Family court twice, firstly when they file such joint petition although through their lawyer(s) and their joint statement get recorded, this is the first motion.
After six months the statutory time as provided under the various matrimonial Acts for above mentioned form of marriages, second motion takes place when once again both of them appear and record their joint statement,followed by the Family judge inquiring from them issues being settled by them such as custody of child, permanent alimony and maintenance, settlement of joint properties, return of Stridhan to wife etc, on being satisfied all such issues have been settled between them by their free and wilful consent and same exist for the dissolution of marriage, the order for such dissolution is made then and there itself followed by drawing of decree of divorce the certified copy of which they both apply and get for use in future.

In case there is no settlement between them for divorce by mutual consent, than a longer process by filling unilateral divorce against the other can be taken whose detailed discussion is not possible here in this forum.

If you’re in the USA, try calling some local attorneys to see if you can get a free initial consultation (but check the ongoing rates). Most will give you a free half hour to discuss your options and that might be enough to set you on your way. If you’re in the UK, try a citizen’s advice bureau or law centre or try searching on a website like http://www.getfreelegaladvice.co.uk

Yes, it's legal. Police records including court and arrests are a matter of public matter. Most newspapers have articles about people that were arrested and what for. It is completely legal for them to do that. They were under no obligation to remove it, she should feel lucky they did.
