Hello everyone,

Reaching the decision to seek divorce can be hard. Filing the papers as an expat in Qatar can be as taxing since a good grasp of legislations is needed and the process can prove to be tedious.

Where and how do you apply for a divorce in Qatar? How long does it take for the process to be completed?

If the couple has children, which measures can be taken in order to protect their interests?

Which procedures should be completed so that the divorce is legally recognized in the country of origin?

How is divorce viewed in Qatar?

Being away from one's home country and loved ones, what advice do have for staying strong emotionally and mentally in this situation?

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Dear Diksha

Divorces are generally to apply where you have married.

Where did you mary?
Divorce as one-sided desire?

If you married in Quatar you need to follow Islamic Quatary roules and you shouldent do it without leagl support that tries first to find a consence in Mediation meetings.

You need a very good leagl support over there.

so to the steps:

If your husband agrees, then petition will be placed聽 together at the (Cassation) Court.

If you find no consensus, it goes to court.

If there is a verdict, which is then challenged by your husband, the appeal appoints two arbitrators who must first propose a reconciliation attempt. If this reconciliation attempt fails, the two referees make a recommendation and this is normally 100% accepted.

Hope that this information where helping you.

Best regards
