Submitted by Sadya Diba (United States), Jun 27, 2007 at 15:56

hello,

i've been married for nearly 5 years now and i live in britain and who i got married to lives in pakistan and till today i dont want any relationship with him because i was forced to marry him, whereas i liked some one else. theres no physical relation between us nor do i speak to him. and i dont want to live with him i want a divorce

i havent even called him to britain we've been living seperate for 5 years now and want a divorce but my family are not allowing it.

so do you think i should apply through a shariah court divorce. i have no children as well i dont like him and dont want to live with him.

thank you

i hope to hear from you
