If you are filing a petition for mutual consent divorce in the court, then generally speaking, witnesses are not required for filing such petition.
However, if the court at your place has a procedure for requiring witnesses for such petition, then also generally speaking there should be no restriction on who can become witnesses. Any relative or friend could possibly be a witness. For more clarity, if there is such a requirement, you can ask the registry of the court at your place.
