Answer

The wife should go to the Jamiat-ul-Ulama of the place she is residing in and file a complaint regarding her husband being missing for the last ten years. If she requests for a separation the Jamiat will ask her to wait for a certain period in order for the nikah to be anulled. After the specified period you may marry her.
