Divorce Filed But Husband Doesn’t Want To Divorce. How Can This Affect Me If I Want To Remarry?

Q: I filed divorce but my husband doesn’t want to divorce (Muslim Family Law). My marriage contract doesn’t include permission for me to divorce my husband. That’s why I have to file a case and it might take unto 2 years to settle. In current situation, how can I remarry? The marriage was conducted in Bangladesh (Muslim Family Law).

A: David’s Answer: In short, you cannot re-marry until you get divorced first. As such, you’ll need to pursue your divorce case & if he contests grounds, you may need to have the Court conduct a grounds trial (which should be an easy trial if you filed under no fault grounds).
