| Man divorces second wife for Canadian citizenship. A Jordanian woman, whose husband divorced her three times, has been told by the Sharia Court she cannot return to her husband. Court officials have said the divorce is final and the woman cannot live with her former husband. The woman, who is the man's second wife, told the court her husband did not want to divorce her but wanted her two children to be eligible for his Canadian citizenship. For this he needed to get a divorce as he was not allowed to have two wives. The woman, the mother of a boy and a girl, and her husband, who is married to another woman, tried to include these two children in his citizenship application. The woman was told the third divorce has officially been registered in the UAE courts and that it does not have anything to do with the intention of the husband. When he applied for the elder girl, he divorced his wife and got an official divorce letter from the court. Immediately after that, he returned to his wife. When he later applied for the son, he divorced his wife for the second time, got an official letter, applied to the authorities and returned to his wife. Recently, a heated argument started between the woman and her husband, who was identified as T.H, ending up with the woman being divorced for the third time. The woman approached the court, and informed the judges about the divorce, which her husband initially denied. The third divorce was registered and the man tried to convince the judges the first two divorces should not be counted as they were not meant to separate the couple but to facilitate the official procedures of the new citizenship. The court did not accept these claims and told the woman she was divorced from her husband and should not live with him under the same roof or else they would be accused of adultery. The woman told the court she feared her husband would take her children and leave the UAE. She added her husband had promised her he would handle her case after finishing the children's cases. She said she was promised her husband would divorce his first wife and register her in the citizenship application, but after the divorce she no longer trusted him. The woman was told the third divorce has officially been registered in the UAE courts and that it does not have anything to do with the intention of the husband. Is the woman's name "J-Lo?" |
