What can non-Muslim woman do if husband won't sign divorce papers in Dubai?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I am a non-Muslim Indian woman married to a non-Muslim Indian man, living in Dubai. We got married in 2012 in the UK, where the marriage is registered. Unfortunately, the marriage has broken down irreparably over the past six years. I filed for divorce in October 2022, and my husband initially cooperated with the calls and summons from courts, agreeing to a divorce by mutual consent with no alimony. However, on the day of signing the documents and collecting the decree in January, he changed his mind, refused to sign, and pleaded for more time. He has since refused to take calls from the court or respond to any questions related to the divorce. 1. Besides waiting, what are my options in this situation? 2. How does the court respond to a spouse who initially agrees to a divorce and then reneges on their promise? 3. If a spouse continues to evade the courts in a divorce case, how long can the case last?

How did this happen, and what problems might it cause in the future? What actions should we take? Our country requires an explanation letter from the company for such discrepancies.
