Legal Question in Family Law in Bangladesh

Sir Abdullah Mubin,

I'm us citizen. I appointed a lawyer in bangladesh to divorce my wife who is in Bangladesh. The lawyer said he talked with Kaazi and After 90 days I've to go to BD to confirm the divorce.I don't see any reason to go to BD. She was very abusive after marriage. We found out she has boy friends. It was forced marriage. Now her parents won't file divorce and telling me to file the divorce and they will accept. I don't know what Evil scheme they have! She told people that I didn't have sex with her and that my private part don't work, once we found out about her boy friend. They have my 10 Laak taka gold. We now also believe she was not virgin before marriage. He mother, Older sister, and Mama went to jail before because her sister did same game with a poor guy like me in Bangladesh. Please advise I can't afford to go to BD.

You do not need to go to BD. What you need to do is to appoint an attorney who will complete the divorce proceeding on your behalf in BD. Your presence is not necessary to make a divorce. The Kazi's advice is wrong.

If you divorce your wife from USA, you will be free from all kinds of harassment from the part of your wife. The gold your wife is retaining possibly is a gift made by you. If it is so, you are not entitled to get the same. But you may by your attorney in BD, sue your wife and family members to recover any other goods or money she/they illegally possessing.

You can divorce your wife easily from USA. For this, you have to send two copies of notice, one for her and another one for the concerned chairman or mayor. I think the Kaazi is wrong, in your case the divorce will be ex-partee.

Best wishes for you.
