When you say you "got PR this month" - what do you mean by that? Did you land in Canada and become a PR? Or did you just get your PR visa approved?

If you have an approved PR visa (and haven't landed in Canada yet) but your relationship with your husband no longer exists, then you don't actually quality for PR anymore since you are no longer with your husband.

If you have already landed in Canada and become a PR (but don't have your PR card yet), then it depends if you have condition 51 on your CORP or not. If you have condition 51 on your CORP, then you have to remain with your husband for 2 years after you land in order to keep your PR status. If you are no longer with your husband, then you should expect it won't be possible to keep your PR status.

In that post the wife was a dependent on the husbands application. It was not a sponsorship case.

As Scylla mentioned, if you just have your COPR document and PR visa but have not yet actually traveled to Canada to "land" as a PR, then you are not able to get your PR. If you tried to go to Canada to land but had actually broken up from your spouse, that would be considered misrepresentation and immigration fraud.
Also if you have broken up your husband may have already talked to CIC to cancel your COPR and withdraw your application, meaning if you tried to travel to Canada to land CBSA would see this and simply refuse your landing and entry to Canada, and you would need to return back to India.

If your husband is the one that actually has your COPR document, then you have no chance of getting it back.

Since you have applied for PR via family class and you no longer have family in Canada, then you should not expect to be able to immigrate here anymore under that class. You should find another immigration stream that you can immigrate here independently.
