Responding to divorce proceedings and seeking settlement by the wife
Hello Ma'am,
My friend is living in Dubai with her husband and they are married for 11 years now. Both are Indian Hindus married in India. The husband wants to divorce my friend.
She is financially fully dependent. The husband has filed for divorce in Dubai and they are called for first guidance meeting. The reason for divorce is nothing but incompatibility issues.
The husband feels that the wife is not smart and educated enough as per his standards and since a long time is finding a reason to get part ways with her.
He has been trying since long that she just leaves on her own and he would not have to do anything for her. When nothing else worked, he took this step.
She is very naive. He wants her to sign the paper in the guidance office. The most important thing is that she has nowhere to go if this divorce happens.
They have no kids. However, the way he is keeping her now and all these years, she is just happy to stay that way only and does not want to part ways with him.
How can she avoid this divorce from happening?

Dear Questioner,
If your friend doesn't want a divorce, she should express it in the first hearing itself filing a defence memo. She can also seek maintenance from her husband.
I would recommend engaging a lawyer to defend the matter in the court and also to uphold her rights as a legitimate wife.
Please ask her to give me a call @ +971544461746 to discuss this matter in detail.
Thank you.
