If a husband skips the online reconciliation session, does it delay the divorce?

Dear Sir/Madam,

I requested divorce (we are Muslims) and I have the reconciliation session online in the first week of January. However, please, if someone can help me with this doubt:

What happens if my husband doesn't attend the online session? Will it take more time to get the divorce?

Thanks!

The husband's absence can result in a delay. Divorce is not a quick trial; it is closely connected to the details and grounds of the case.

You can book a Free 15-minute consultation by reaching out to our secretary Asmae via phone.

Salam,

It takes more time to notify the husband.

If he didn’t attend the hearing, just notify him.

It depends on the policy of the session.

Maybe they will decide on the same day and maybe they will give another date.

For more clarification, please contact our senior legal consultant Mr. Muhammad Abdullah via phone.

If your husband did not come to the hearing, there will be another hearing.

And if your husband did not come to the other hearing either, the case will be referred to the judge.

Thanks!

It’s only the reconciliation session online, I told them I’m not interested in fixing things.

I want the divorce but the court here in Dubai has this procedure as the first step. I’m almost sure he will not attend.

This is the procedure, and the judge does not accept the lawsuit before trying to reconcile the spouses. And the judge himself - after that - will try to reconcile.
