Wife In UAE Seeks Divorce Because Husband Loves Her A Lot, Doesn't Argue With Her
Ahmed
Shaaban /Fujaira h
If one argument could save a marriage, this is it. But the fawn- ing husband cooked, cleaned, swept and loved his wife passion- ately. Completely. She in turn felt choked by his affection and now wants to divorce him.
The woman sought divorce from her hus- band at the Shariah court in Fujairah because his love was too much for her to bear.
"He never yelled at me or turned me down," the woman, a Gulf national, told the court.
"I was choked by extreme love and affection. He
even helped me clean the house."
He sometimes cooked for her and there were no disputes in their year-long marriage, she said.
The wife com- plained that her life turned "hell" because the man
was so kind to her.
"I long for one day of dispute, but this seems impossible with my romantic hus- band who always forgave me and showered me with gifts.
"I need a real discussion, even an argument, not
this hassle-free life of obedi- ence."
The husband said he did noth- ing wrong. "I wish to be a per- fect and kind husband," he said.
She once com- plained about his weight, so he went on a strict
diet and exer- cised to get back in shape, only to suffer a fracture in the leg for his efforts.
The husband asked the court to advise his wife to withdraw the case.
"It's not fair to judge a marriage from the first
year, and every- body learns from their mistakes."
The court ordered the adjournment of the case to give the couple a chance at recon- ciliation.
