thanks PM!

mahr is the dowry, right? well my family rejected his family's dowry...as for the late dowry, i don't need it either, he needs it more than i do. i can support myself and my kids. we just want to go on separate ways settling this peacefully. what matters is for me to get my kids, full custody. we got married here in an islamic court which is not valid in my country.

is it possible for us to formally divorce without waiting for 3rd talaq??? i heard from others that the husband can ANYTIME divorce the wife...but the wife needs to justify the reasons and needs more than one witness to divorce the husband??? if this is true, then it's unfair and sexist. why in this part of the world, men get special treatment over women??? i thought sexist happens only at work, y'know men get all the allowances the company has to offer but women only get basic salary sort of stuff....

guess i was wrong...even in marriage this unfairness happens and why does the husband have more rights over the kids? coz of religion? well, in my country the wife gets the custody of the kids regardless of the religion esp when the kids are minors. fact is, generally speaking, women are more concerned to the children's welfare compared to men who may and could easily find another partner in matter of weeks! and excuse me for stating the fact, i know for sure most arab men enjoy going out with friends and seldom go out with their wife and kids...just take a look around the malls and you'll see these people everywhere, observe those men flashing their luxury cars all over the city, driving with no other than his friends, @ starbucks, costa name it, you'll see them there sitting, sipping and chatting as if singles...of course not all, but most of them, now that's reality.
