How can I guarantee the safety of my child and I if I file divorce against an abusive husband?

I am an Indian lady who is suffering domestic abuse and violence with video evidence.

I work in the UAE and my husband is on a visit visa. He is traveling back to India and this is when I will issue the divorce papers.

My fear is he will come back to the UAE and abuse me further once he sees the divorce papers. I don't want to leave the UAE as this is where my job is.

I have a 3-year-old son and want to remain safe here. Is there any way I can issue a protection order or travel ban against my husband to ensure the safety of myself and my child?

It is not possible to prevent him from entering the UAE, but it is possible to inform the police so that he will not abuse you again, and the court will rule for you to have custody of the child and alimony.

Divorce entails damages due to the wife and children, if there are children.

Temporary alimony can be requested while the case is in progress.

Madam, you cannot record video or audio without consent.

It is a criminal offense. You can file a complaint against your husband with the police, and the police will give a warning.

It would be better if you had some medical documentation confirming the physical abuse.

You may also seek assistance from the Embassy and welfare organizations.

A travel ban can be issued to prevent a party from leaving the country without the consent of the other party.
