Filing a case against an abusive husband to return to home country with children
My sister lives in Dubai. Her husband was convicted of murder and served time in jail for murdering their maid.
Yesterday, he tried to suffocate and kill my sister. She went to the police station and a hospital. He changed the locks on the door so that my sister can't come back home and be with her children.
He's also taken her passport and ID. She's in fear for her children. She's also in great fear of her life. She believes that if she goes back to him, he will kill her like he killed their maid.
She wants to go back to her family in Morocco and wants to bring her children with her so that they will be safe. Would she be able to go to Morocco with her children?
The law of Dubai protects women and children from abuse, and as such, the children should not be left with a convicted murderer and should be returned to their mother.
My sister should have the right to go back to her mother and father, to the safety of her family, with her children so that they can all finally be safe.
