Hello and welcome,
Thank you for reaching out, and I’m glad to assist you with your questions.

In Islam, a Christian wife enjoys the same essential rights as a Muslim wife. She has the right to mahr (dower), maintenance, clothing, and a suitable residence. She also has full freedom to practice her Christian religious rituals, as long as this does not conflict with the husband’s rights or cause harm to the marriage.

If you’d like to hire an attorney, I can take your matter. Share a couple of preferred time slots this week (Amman time, UTC+3), or I can propose times. I’ll also send you a short intake form so I can advise you precisely on divorce, travel, and religious freedom concerns in your specific circumstances.

If you prefer, we can continue by email and I’ll reply with a fixed-fee quote for the initial consult and document review.
