... but its true.
You're in a Muslim country... plain and simple.
what makes sense vs. what is ethically right vs. what the local law is are completely different.
First off, she should have known better than to have the guy in the house. she'd been in the UAE (for what looks like) almost 10 years. Even as Westernized as its becoming, you cant take the basics for granted.
She had tea with another male in the house... regardless of what happened (sexually) or didn't happen.
And, to boot, she already knew her husband was a violent and vindictive man.... she shouldnt have been stupid enough to risk adding fuel to the fire and put herself in that situation (let along rumours from neighbors, etc.). It has nothing to do with her husband having an affair.... these are 2 separate issues.
IT doesnt make it right what the husband is doing but revenge runs rife in any divorce situation (regardless of country).
I feel for her because of her children. But at the end of this, she's a victim, perhaps, of the system just as many are (judicially) in their own countries some times.
Im married to a Muslim... there are ways around the custodial issues in a Islamic society as long as they are documented ahead of time relating to the marriage.. however, there is no way around it when it comes to breaking the law.
The Embassy (hers) will be able to do very little in this case except to ensure her well being from an humanitarian aspect. Secondly, if he relocates to the US, her chances aren't necessarily going to be shorter in resolving. She's a british citizen.
But,the chances of him potentially even getting to the U.s. at all are very slim when there will be a legal case against him which clearly will happen.
