• Devorce

  If you were married in Kuwait then you must go to the court in Kuwait and sign the papers and all ...
  
  If you were not married in Kuwait then it doesnt matter if she/he lives in kuwait or not you can file the case in whatever the country you are in and the gov will take care of the paper work

• Contractor in Kuwait cheated on wife in the USA with and Philippine women she got pregnant. Contractor is a US citizen.

  Filipino women is pregnant and friends told her of a lawyer that would be able to get a marriage certificate..even if she is pregnant. The Man is not Muslim..she converted to Muslim before they got married.... And the man didn't. The man didn't..he is still Catholic...Now he wants it Annulment but the lawyers are saying that he can't get one because she could take him to court for alimony and the Judge will see that he is not Muslim..and he could go to jail for perjury. So the only thing now he can do is file Divorce papers and hope that she doesn't want to take him to court. There is the baby involved..and he really is not sure if it is his. He asked if he could get a paternity test but the lawyers are saying that it cost to much and they don't do that there..it cold take months to years to find out if the baby is his or not. He has found out now that she will be shipping the Baby to the Philippines. In order to be able to work..She can not live in Kuwait as a single Mother... I just don't get how that how can the lawyer draw up the marriage contract knowing all this that she is pregnant out of wedlock and knowing the Man was not a Muslim...?????? How can the Lawyer draw up such a contract up knowing this... Her plan was to trap him to get money and possible way back to the USA...He married her thinking he was doing the right thing by her and the baby..He made a Big Mistake..doing it...
  So does anyone know anything to help????? It's like he is screwed now. I mean its like the Lawyer should have known better not to let this happen but let it happen.. then all this mess wouldn't have happened..
  Is there anyone out there that could give any advice on what to do..????? PLEASE. .

• Some Lit on Muslim law

  According to Sharia law, a Muslim man may have four wives, provided that he can look after them materially and treats them equally. This practice is now dying out, however, not only because only a few can afford it, but also because women are becoming more independent and assertive and many refuse accept it. In fact, a Muslim woman can insert a clause in the marriage contract that restricts her husband from marrying another woman for as long as the contract is valid. The wife also retains her own name after marriage. Although gender roles have always been clearly defined in the Islamic world, with the man as ‘provider’ and the woman as ‘nurturer’, both man and wife are increasingly going out to work, although this is much less common in Saudi Arabia, where there are restrictions on women working, except in culturally ‘acceptable’ occupations such as medicine and teaching. However, many Saudi men are reluctant to marry doctors and nurses, who have been exposed to male bodies.
  
  A man can divorce his wife simply by saying ‘I divorce you’ three times. He can rescind the divorce if this was done in the heat of the moment, but only if the wife agrees (and only on three occasions!). On the other hand, even if a wife has good reason to seek a divorce (e.g. if her husband has been unfaithful, abused or deserted her, or engaged in criminal activity), she must go to a court for the case to be heard. The husband must maintain a divorced wife and any children from the marriage if the wife is unable to support herself. He can claim custody of any sons when they reach the age of ten. A female divorcee usually returns to her family, and few remarry.
  
  Although a Muslim woman may not marry a non-Muslim man unless he converts to Islam, the reverse isn’t the case. However, non-Muslim women are often pressurised into converting, and there have been many cases of foreign women marrying Arabs and then discovering that the local culture and lifestyle are unacceptably restrictive. It should also be noted that, in the event of the breakdown of such a union, the children are usually kept by the husband in his home country.
  
  Expatriate workers can usually be married in the Gulf, provided that they meet the civil and religious requirements of their home country. Embassy and consulate staff sometimes perform civil marriage ceremonies, again provided that certain requirements are met. Religious ceremonies can be arranged, but only in countries that allow churches or similar non-Muslim places of worship. This isn’t the case in Saudi Arabia. If people of different nationalities marry, the authorities sometimes scrutinise the circumstances to ensure that marriages of convenience aren’t taking place in order to circumvent immigration requirements.

• @ abdurahman

  Being a muslim man, u are allowed to marry 1,2,3,4 if you can able to, but if u fear that u will be unfair between your wives, then ONE is enough, i am sure know about this matter.
  
  And in Islam you allowed to marry a girl from the people of the book ( Christian ) and Jewish.
  
  As far as i know, there is a new law in the Philippines under shariah law that they allow muslims to marry more than one and they can even registered thier marriage cntract. i dont know if its true, but this is what i heard from a a muslim friend who is working at shariah court in cotabato city.

• Rights of my daugther.....kuwaiti nationality.

  Good day.....
  Iam filipina i been in kuwait for almost 14 years.I meet this guy it was 1997.He is kuwaiti citizen.then, after he proposed to me infront of his present wife(she got a kuwaiti nationality) to marry me,first i was shocked,speechless.Iam not really if his wifes is surprised too.I dont say anything on that time,till i ask about this matter in my teacher in my islamic school.Till then i realized that could be accepted,frankly iam already inlove that guy for the first time i saw him but he is married so i just keep quite and keep my feelings to him.
  And oneday,the present wife came for me and talk to me. what my answer about the proposal;i said,"what!"...are you sure about that and you know what are you talking about! And iam so surprised and wondering to her that u can't see any upset or anger in her face.Well, then till she told me the reason why? And i told to her to give me a sometimes to think so wisely but in my heart telling not to wait to long...coz,i can't denied my true feelings.
  
  The same day i gave my answer we went to the court with his present wife to be one of witness.We didn't finish all the papers works and the same day cos we to go back to the phil embassy...
  But the next day we dont come back to the embassy coz he became busy and so far.. the days became years and the same reason; he is always telling me that his present wife asking him always a favor to do...It takes a year to wait but it ok; in the reason why because i love him i always wait and hoping on his promises like he said and swearing to the god(ALLAH) till i decide to go home for vacation and my reason too is i want to know if he really seriuos on me.
  I came back 2000 and we still together i moved in his house together with his family,and once again i asked him when he will marry me.when i will be a legal wife.He says;as long as all his family known our relationship specially his wife i dont have to worry.So i believe him and trust him but days goes and his kids growing asking about my real relation with thier father "the words," "he is my husbund too"and "iam his wife" but my consciuos can't stay always like these so i decide to spoke with him and telling that iam going back home never come back he is not agree with that. i know he loved me so much too.So since that days he always convinced me not to go.And i asked to him my rights too,he is always speechless he did'nt say anything about it....so i go on in my decision.
  The same year my plan to go home then i found out i was pregnant by two months then i told to him everything even in his present wife...to be sure iam telling the truth they (he and present wife)take me to the lab.After we came back from the doctors we spoke to all his childrens and family that iam pregnat and everybody happy but there is jealousy ofcourse..
  Iam in the third month we went to court again for to marry me and the same time our embassy help me to finish my marriage contract but when we came to the court a friend of his wife working in the court advise us not to continue cos my stomach very suspicous infront of the judge and it cos more trouble for me and my baby.So do it her advise and he ask me to go home to delivered my baby.And he promised me again to process soon the paper for we can both back in kuwait.But after a month he changed his planned supposedly to come after me to marry me in phil but he can't go out coz he has block listed in the cumputer in the airport..so again i accepted his reason.I came back by myself without my daugther i leave her she is only one in half month,but i have to leave her eventhough it is hurt and against in my feeling...Cos i was thinking its for her rights.
  
  So i came back in kuwait.
  After 7 months we finally got married..
  And then we lived our own.Almost everyday i asking him when he will bring our daugther her in kuwait.ALL i always heard is "inshaallah" and i trust that words of course keep waiting. but the these days come for us iam expecting better,peace,nice life but is not. he changed a lot and become worst he started beaten me. Eventhough i forgive him after what he done to me,otherwise;i still tried to be patience i was thought he will not do it again.So i decide to stay.But i was wrong he didn't stop beaten me.I dont go to police to complain about it.I dont want him to be in the jail.Because no matter what he is still the father of my daugther eventhough he did not give his name to her.I dont want ato bring any disgrace in his side.
  
  When i find the right time to speak with him, i ask him to divorced me,i cant stay with him anymore. I thought that better way to do. He accepted my favor coz he knows what he done he is wrong and he is guilty about what he did.
  I dont ask anything after from him all i need is my freedom.eventhough it is unfair to the rigths of my daugther.We divorced at nov 27 2007.
  And rigth now i married again in a foriegner(us citizen).
  I would like to know now if my daughter still have rigths to get the support or nationality from her father.He is kuwaiti.
  I dont want she blame me someday i take away the rights and upportuniy from her father.But iam also afraid that her father take her away from me.Only she i have.....I dont expecting anything now in my present husband. Will take the responsible to my daugther although before he marry me i already told to him about my daugther and he accepted and he told me "i will be her father now,and she will be my daugther".
  Please i need some more advice and help me how i figure out this matter...thank you very much to the concern of yours....
  GOD BLESS YOU ALL.hoping someone willl reply me soon...

• American Muslim man wishes to marry an egytian girl working and living in Kuwait.

  If an American Muslim man marrys this girl with a marriage contract is that accepted in America(Texas) as a legal marriage? Will she be able to get her visa to join him in the US as his wife? Can he "marry" at the US embassy in Kuwait to avoid legal problems later? HELP!
