If any women should ever think about moving to Qatar with your husband muslim or non muslim here is a link that you should look at first.

An non qatari expat father has every right to keep your child in Qatar regardless of who has custody. And will be awarded custody after they reach a certain age.

The way u write, it gives the impression that women here are bound by chains and kept. I wont say I love Qatar or anything like that, but what ure sying is a bit too much.

What a cheek...

Lots of people wrote objective and sympathetic posts and tried to get to the root of your issues

and this is what you do???

How dare you malign Qatar like that - you have been here for a couple of days..some of us have been here for years.

Dont blame your marital issues on Qatar.

You come here under sponsorship..it isn't Qatar's responsibility to take care of expats with no income.

it doesn't pretend to thats why you have sponsorship..only!

Funny I thought the injustice about it is that even as an expat a divorced women who has custody cannot take her children out tha country as long as her husband works here. Even if she is going back to his home country.

And that they get taken away from her if she cannot provide for them. I.e. how the hell are divorced women supposed to stay in Qatar with no job or income?

eu, a Muslim man can say "talaq" and he is divorced. A woman cannot say "talaq"!!! That's the injustice about it. Clearly inequality.

it looks that they (women) have more limited rights in case of divorce here that in Western Europe or US.

We (men) can claim the same at home. I know of divorced men in Spain that have lose the house, have to pay for the children and they couldnt even see them for years.

It is very sad when children become in throwing weapons.

Divorce is a very painful process and both lose.

I think only worth advice before marry is "CHOOSE CAREFULLY"!!!!!

I hope in case something happens one day with my partner we both will keep reasonable in order to maintain at a minimum the "colateral damages" and be able to rebuild our lifes (Imshallah!).

... it looks like you had a nervoud breakdown in the other thread. It would be nice if you re-read that and apologize to the ppl that tried to help you (in case you think you have to).

Qatar is not so bad place and ppl is understandable, this is not "Not without my daughter". Simply they have different laws.

Try to stay cold and take it easy...

Nice Website. I told you women have no rights in Islam. Why didn't you believe me! You should have asked me before you married. Now it's too late.
