Separation due to absence

Parwin: Zakia’s mom….Why you are tailoring? Is not Zakia at home?

Zakia’s mother: Zakia has taken her daughter to doctor… if we don’t do tailoring what we should do… the tailoring is turning the wheel of our life….you know that my son in law is lost… …see this is third year… under pretext of going to abroad he left my daughter and her children and went ….what I can say dear parwin…

Parwin: Doesn’t he send alimony to you?

Zakia’s mother: (angrily) Alimony? He is not even sending any greetings… you speak about the alimony… this is three years … no track of him…on the one hand comments of people… on the other hand indigence…I don’t know what to do… my poor daughter burned…she feel shame in front of every rival…

Parwin: Then why Zakia don’t get her divorce?

Zakia’s mother: (laughs) the woman cannot obtain the divorce?

Parwin: (smiles) now the old times gone…thanks God now our country has the law…if the absence of husband lasts more than four months the wife can request for divorce or separation… that she can specify her destiny…

Zakia‘s mother: (worryingly) This is shame dear sister…how she will do this? What the people will tell?

Parwin: This is her right… and this is a legal act…

Spot message: If the husband has more than 4 month’s absence and doesn’t send alimony for his wife and offspring, she can request the separation due to absence and obtain divorce.
