How to find the whereabouts of the wife and returning her home
My wife came to Dubai and has abandoned the family (Husband and 2 kids - 9yrs and 7 yrs). We don't know her whereabouts and she has blocked us from every contact.
She is complaining everywhere that I am abusive and don't take care of her but the fact is she has had illicit affair in India before coming to the UAE and wanted to get married to that other person as well.
Is there any way I can do something to get her back to family legally?
Dear Questioner,
Please approach the Family Guidance Department within the premises of the Personal Status Court to register your divorce application.
If your wife is in the UAE, the department will contact her for an amicable divorce settlement. If the department cannot reach the other party, they refer the matter to the court.
If you can prove that you do not know your wife’s location, the UAE courts shall have jurisdiction on your divorce case as per Article 6.5 of the UAE Personal Status Law.
