I email you, I email you, I email you! US woman gets to divorce Saudi husband via e-mail

An American court has approved a woman’s plea to get a divorce from her Saudi husband via e-mail after the man left the country with her three kids and prevented her from seeing them.

The judge, Robert Sakfaj, agreed to the request made by the woman after she proved that she could no longer communicate with him in any other way.

An arrest warrant has been issued for kidnapping the children and refusing to return to the country, which is a violation of the custody rights previously granted to the mother, in addition to failing to attend a hearing on the matter.

Jessica, who filed for divorce last April, said that they have been married since June 2004.

“I am tired of being married to a person who took my kids from me and continues to deprive me of seeing them, while doing everything in his power to make our lives miserable,” she said.

The husband was a master’s degree student at the Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania and left the country on Nov. 24 last year with his children, nine-year-old Mohammed, seven-year-old Ibrahim, and five-year-old Ilyas, after the court granted them approval to visit their father.

The court saw evidence confirming that he had received official documents via e-mail before.

The judge also ruled that the mother is entitled to their family car after registration expired last month and her husband failed to renew it.
