Divorce granted in Dubai: Husband escaped to India. How to get maintenance?

Dear Sir/Madam,

My sister and her husband got married in India, but since they are working in Dubai, my sister filed a divorce case here in the Dubai Court.

She was granted a divorce, but the husband escaped from the UAE to India without paying maintenance for my sister and children.

The children are staying with their grandmother in India. What should she do?

Dear Questioner,

You can enforce the Divorce Decree received from the UAE courts and seek maintenance.

Firstly, you need to register the divorce decree and then file a maintenance petition in an Indian family court.

The UAE court ruling can be implemented in India, but there are many procedures.
