The right response to the wife who is refusing to be with the husband

Hello/Salam

I am a British citizen with a UK passport and married a UAE resident with a Pakistani passport in March 2020. Due to Covid restrictions, I could not see my wife until travel re-opened.

At this time, I tried to apply for a UK spouse visa for my wife, but it was not approved on Jan 21. I then waited for things to re-open and visited my wife on Nov 21 and decided to move ahead with our Rukhsati and Walima in Jan 2022.

I then applied for her UK visit visa, but again it was not approved. I then traveled to Dubai in Mar 2022 to live in Dubai with my wife, but she did not see me, has not responded to my messages or calls, and blocked me on social media.

I was able to see her family but they were very disrespectful to me and threw me out of their house. I have returned to the UK now.

What can I do to approach the UAE authorities that my wife's family has defrauded me, taken all the gifts and gold, and are now ignoring us?

Please advise what can I do to save my marriage?

Thanks/Jzk

Hi,

Please confirm to us, do you have a marriage certificate and any receipt of gold and gifts which you have given them?

So please contact us by phone.

Hello.

Yes, I have a marriage certificate and some receipts for gold and gifts.

Some gold was given by mum as they already belonged to her and she gave them to my wife at the Walima ceremony. We also have videos of when the gifts were given.

Do you have a marriage certificate?

12 Apr 2022, 03:53

Yes. I have a valid marriage certificate from Dubai.

12 Apr 2022, 05:42

Okay, please send it via WhatsApp.

How much does the gold cost?

13 Apr 2022, 05:43

I cannot put the exact cost on the gold as some of it was family possessions that were not valued, but the estimated cost is more than £10,000. I will WhatsApp you to discuss.

Okay, Whatsapp me will be much better.

With the Emirates ID or passport of your wife, we can check the residency status and accordingly file a case for the divorce or claim for the return of the money which you have spent on her.
