I’m a Muslim living in Saudi Arabia with my wife and two children, aged 5 and 3. We got married in 2009. I’m considering divorce because my wife doesn’t listen to me and wants to live life her own way. I visit twice a year, and during my last trip, I let her go visit family for 8 days, but she stayed for a month. This year, her brother is getting married, and I told her to stay for 8 days, but she wants to stay longer. Her family is involved, and her father is even suggesting a divorce.

Under Indian law, you can pursue divorce based on your wife’s unreasonable behavior and refusal to comply with your requests. However, considering the family dynamics involved, it’s crucial to seek legal counsel in India and Saudi Arabia to understand the complexities of cross-border divorce proceedings and your rights and obligations in both jurisdictions.
