so you did support him getting through immigration.However he came to the UK and was held by immigration. They(immigration) phoned me. I either had to give permission to leave Heathrow, or they would put him in a detention centre, then at some date send him home. I am the only reason he can stay in the UK. His appeal would not be successful, especially as he was previously a failed assylum seeker.
so the marriage is not in existance now and he is not coming to the uk to be with you. also he already has setup another family unit in pakistan, so you are supporting his continued presence in the ukWe continue to live separately
so the other 'wife' will not get entry clearance8.2 Section 2 of the Immigration Act 1988 gave effect to Parliament's decision at that
time that the formation of polygamous households in the United Kingdom should be
prevented. Accordingly, s.2 provided that a woman would no longer be granted entry
clearance on the basis of marriage where entry clearance had previously been granted
to another wife of the same man
as your husband is domiciled in uk, the other marriage will be void as per uk laws8.3.1 Under s.11(d) of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973, polygamous marriages
contracted abroad can only be valid in English law if the conditions outlined at 2.1 above
are met. The marriage will not be valid if either party is domiciled:
• in the UK; or
• in any other country whose law does not permit polygamous marriage
do you want to explore this option.7. Bigamy
7.1 Where evidence on file points to the commission of bigamy or perjury, Marriage and
General Section, ONS should be notified (see OFFICE FOR NATIONAL STATISTICS in
Volume 2 Section I). They will then investigate the matter and will refer it, if appropriate,
to the police for further enquiries
Assalamu alaikum Martha,martha wrote:Having read a few posts on other threads. I have a question. As my husband has had such a colourful history regarding his legal status here, and lied on his assylum seeker application for one, and using a different name and DOB( he was refused with this), worked illegally for 5 years, got his spouse visa under false pretences, should he fail to stay in the UK, could he be put on a life time ban? And would that cover all countries?
My solicitor can only help me with the divorce. Any immigration issue I can seek would be costly advice, as I would not qualify for legal aid.
Would immigration look into all these factors when deciding his rights to stay?
He originally entered on a 72hr stop over, and skipped the airport. Being stuck in that trap of not being able to leave the UK, he, like many thousands of illegals, worked underground.
I had no idea of his legal status here when we first met. But I believed he was legal. All his paperwork he kept at a friends house.
Dont get me wrong. I have no problem of foreigners coming here to make a new life. But there are so many thousands that enter illegally. And they lie through their teeth. I have heard cases, where boys, flush all paperwork down the aircraft toilets, on arrival to the UK ,then claim assylum this way. Why are we such a 'soft touch' on immigrants? If they come legally, then fine, good luck to them. But there are more illegals here, than legals. Doesnt seem right at all to me.
It does change things a bit - I feel doubly embarrased for jerks from my homeland that do this - its cold & calculated, and they lack compassion for fellow humans - all in their desire to get some red passport which they think is actually made of gold.martha wrote:Hi gollywood,
Actually, I'm a white British girl. Does that change things? Still wanna help if necessary, as you are an expert in such things
But you're right in any sense, He's still a jerk. Shame I didnt see the signs earlier.
Noooooo! My attitude has changed slightly in that I feel even more guilt & shame for what that jerk did!martha wrote:Hello mooon, thanks for your reply. You are right of course that there are bad people everywhere. I also know happily married english girls with pakistani men.
BUt it is interesting also that gollywood's attitude has changed slightly, because I am white perhaps? I am a revert, so to any muslim, colour and nationality shouldnt come into it. Islam has no caste system, but obviously my husband's family felt it did. They were happy to let him marry a white muslim, for the visa, but their culture also dictated he marry one of his own. As such, dont you think they were dearly beloved to me?
It doesnt matter now, and I no longer care about them. I have my future to think about now.

I thought you were a Pakistani girl from Britain. The fact that you arent means thats you were duped by this low life scum on the basis of you trusting him for being a Muslim. He used his status of a Muslim, and took advantage of it for materialistic gain.
He'll pay for that one day.
Islam doesnt belive in any caste system or hierachy - but sadly dumb Pakistani culture is full of that sort of crap!
Thankfully, Ive managed to 'wipe clean' all those backward cultural/tribal flaws in my wife - and she now realises had crazy folk back home are!
I think you should talk to your lawyer about this, but I certainly share his optimism. First of all I think you can go ahead whether he agrees or not. Taking a second wife will most certainly count as adultery, and that is a reason for a unilateral divorce. Anullment is an option, but it is more difficult, because you need to prove that he did not enter the marriage with the best intentions. If you find evidence that he was already preparing the second marriage, that is fine, but otherwise this could be a very messy case.martha wrote:4 After 6hours of discussion he siad he would refuse to sign for the divorce papers when they are served in a few days. Without that I dont know if I can proceed with the divorce or not. ANYONE ANY IDEAS PLEASE? My solicitor has already said that if the papers are served ok then we can carry on with it. What other options do I have? anullment?
Is she on your side? If not, you may want to keep the details to yourself, as long as legal proceedings are likely. Of course you should not be unfriendly, but you may have to watch your words.8. sent e-mail to his little sister in Pakistan, telling her everything.
You have a lawyer, and you have a case. So I think the outlook is very positive indeed.Am I doing OK?
