Want a Wife

[wazza]

Wife left us over two years ago. We were married in Pakistan. We are divorced as according to Islam but not according to the English law. Need her address in order to serve divorce papers.

Living with me are my three young children. Eldest is 11 and the youngest is 4. I am 42.

Months ago I have decided to look for a wife. I have asked family/friends if they know anyone suitable for me. Have also looked at the internet sites. My preference is to find someone in the UK.

The women i have communicated with are from different backgrounds. Some are muslim by name and some very religious. I have found that the women are put off by having to look after my young children. They are happy for a man to look after their children but not the other way round.

Family have suggested getting married to someone in Pakistan. One of the obstacle i have is that i am still married according to the english law.

Is there a way around this? I can get her here to UK and have an Islamic wedding.

I know this is not the right place to post this question. If someone knows of a website that is useful please let me know

perhaps u could try putting the word out with imams in your local masjids insha Allah? im sure there are many muslim women in the u.k, who would be very happy to raise up your children and love them as they would love their own insha.most especially reverts and non cultural muslims would not see your having children as an obstacle, insha Allah they would see that as a chance to gain extra reward from Allah ta ala.

I dont know of anyway to get around your problem with the law, other than to file for divorce on the grounds of desertion, after a certain period of time your marriage will be automatically anulled ( i think its two years) best not to marry in the law at all, it simply causes so many problems, and the immigration department are not going to be impressed with handing out another visa or a british passport,for you to bring another wife to the country, they may see that as very fishy. Islamic marriage alone is the way to go insha Allah. may Allah assist u in your search amin.
