Wife spouse arrives to cheating husband.

[Azztec]

This is a query for advice around a spouse via and the rights of the wife in terms of husbands infidelity.
A woman marries a man ( aranged marriage) some 5 years ago abroad, the husband returns to the Uk and there is a long delay due to the husbands work status in appying for the wife to come over.
On arrival to the Uk the woman finds that a number of people have attended the husbands home with threats of violence claiming that the man is actually married to someone else and has been for nearly 6 months.

The woman ( Wife coming into uk via spouse visa) in question then refuses to allow the husband to consumate the marriage as she feels betrayed and unable to trust the husband. The husband claims that the other marrriage is a lie however some people are able to locate and get a copy of the mariage certificate as evidence.
As a result of the evidence the wife then has to safeguard herself and ensure she is not used and abused by the husband by way of asking that there is no sexual activity etc.

The question in the post is this, What rights does the wife who arrived in the uk have in terms of her being not at fault with the huisbands actions and as such what does this mean in term of her stay in the Uk being affected. This situation is no fault of hers and she is a victim of circumatsnce, she is afraid to stay at the husbands in case she is forced against her will to consumate the marriage against her will.

please offer advise as the wife cannot return to her country for fear of ridicule and rejection from the community ( she is from pakistan), she has said she would rather die than be subjected to a return home.

So she made a poor choice of husband. Best if she leaves the Uk unless the husband still wishes to sponsor her and she's happy with that. As regards besmirched reputation happens all the time, tough titty.

UK has no 'Loss of Face' visa.....

thanks for the reply, I see what you are saying but as a victim acting on good faith throughout the initial marriage to the visa being succcessful and coming to the uk, she is in a difficult situation, is there no options available to her with regards to not having to leave the uk as emotionally she is very vulnerable and unable to comprehend this scenario. surely she is the victim here and there must be some option to pursue?

This is not an immigration issue.

Should contact Police if she is being threatened or tortured and better find someone else and marry again.
