Marriage Certificate

Submitted by Legitimate (United States), May 16, 2010 at 10:59

I was informed that they can divorce you in their country without you knowing it. Does anyone know about this? The US has become strict with these men polygamist marriages in some middle eastern countries. The men wives who will not approve of a second wife are divorced without knowledge of it while the man marry the western woman and the visa petition is filed, then they can secretly divorce the western woman, and within 90 days take back their previous muslim wife. Does anyone know about this?

I mentioned this to my husband who got upset. I told him I wanted the name and address of the place he obtained the marriage certificate. He has not yet given me this information because I want to be the one to inquire about a certificate being sent directly to me. He would say he would get it for me, but I want it sent from the place itself, not him. He would ask me questions like, am I wanting to find out how many wives he has. I basically just want to see if I am still married to him, but that information would be helpful too. He has still fail to give me the information I need, saying they will not send you one. To call my embassy and see if they can help me. Do anyone know how I can get this information? I have a copy of the contract but not the certificate.
