Do you need to get a divorce in the same country that you got married in?
Touzamy
No.
However, most countries (and states) have a residency requirement for divorce. That means, you must live in the country (and probably the state) where you file for a divorce for a minimum amount of time before you can file there (usually one year in the United States).
Also, in the case of a same-sex marriage, you must file for divorce in a country (and state, in the U.S.) where your marriage is legally recognized - - not necessarily the same country (or state) where you were married, but one of the countries (and states) where same-sex marriages are recognized. Again, you will most likely have to satisfy a residency requirement.

Do you have to get a divorce in England to marry a Muslim in Algeria?
Assuming that you have a legal heterosexual marriage in the UK (that has government certification), that marriage will be recognized in Algeria. As a result, in order to marry an Algerian, you will need to get a divorce. If you have a same-sex marriage in the UK, you will not need to get a divorce in the UK to marry the Muslim in Algeria, but that marriage will not be recognized in the UK (because you would now be married to two people contemporaneously). If you are not married in the UK, then, obviously, you will not need a divorce to get married.
If you got an arranged marriage could you file for divorce as soon as the ceremony is over?
You can file for a divorce any time after you are married. But more likely you want an annulment. Laws vary from state to state and country to country, but if you were married against your will or somehow forced into the marriage, odds are you can get it annulled. This is not the same as a divorce; it would be as if you were never married. Don't wait around; talk to a lawyer ASAP.
