the issue will become "Micheal asks the court to allow him to divorce
himself". Technically, court can do this, but Micheal just does not want to
divorce "himself".

I did not quite follow this case. And I guess with the subduing public
attention, we would never find out what the true story is. Nevertheless I am
not particularly curious in finding out what they (Michael or Terri's parents)
were really thinking in this battle, for love or money. Just the fact that
American law system, albeit sophisticated and completed as I used to think,
still has grey area, makes me think...

That may be, and you are entitled to your opinion. But from legal point of
view, this PARTICULAR case is quite narrow and unambiguious. I am clueless
about why you think there is gray area in THIS case.
