Asking wife to contribute to home expenses and her refusal
Dear Sir,
I and my wife both are working in Dubai logistics; shipping field in different companies.
Due to my salary condition, I have asked my wife to support me in the home rent & home expenses but her objection is that she cannot support me in rent as it is the husband's responsibility and it is not good for a wife to pay with husband.
I also informed her that if she cannot help me in this regard, then she should leave the job and sit at home so I will bear all the responsibility and if it is tough for me then I will choose the option to send her back to home country in order to send her expenses.
But she warns me that she will leave me but cannot leave the job. So my questions are:
1. Is not a wife allowed to contribute/support in this regard to her husband?
2. Do the husband have legal rights to force his wife to stop going to work?
3. If the husband asked for a divorce, then what are the terms and conditions from husband's side to release his wife after divorce?
She is not liable to pay any expenses.
As a husband, you are liable for providing expenses but she needs to obey your orders.
You can ask her to stop but can't force her. If she doesn't follow you, then you are not liable to pay maintenance.
It depends on your nationality and religion.
You may contact me directly via phone or email for further consultation!
