Is marrying a divorced woman with a child a prudent decision?
I am in a committed relationship with a 23-year-old divorced woman who has a 6-year-old daughter. She endured domestic abuse during her marriage, separated four years before divorcing a year ago, and currently relies on her financially struggling parents. Her ex-husband, who is also my colleague, is unaware of our relationship. I seek your advice on whether marrying her is a prudent decision, how to handle potential harassment and legal challenges from her ex-husband, how to gain my parents' acceptance, and how to build a strong future together?
Indeed, the divorce is finalized, making marrying your partner legally sound. To address harassment from her ex-husband, consider a protective order that legally restrains him from contacting or approaching her and her child. This immediately gives safety and legal recourse if violated. Openly discuss with them about your commitment and stability you provide her and her daughter. A good future with each other would also consist of explicit communication and shared parenting. Possibly seeking some counseling when challenges arise as a blended family is also highly advisable.
After the divorce, her ex husband cannot involve in her personal decisions including the marriage. She is legally eligible to marry again. In case, if he involves in harassment, then you and the woman can take legal action against him for which he is answerable and accountable. Getting acceptance from your parents depends on your communicating, negotiating and convincing skills. You can build strong future together by understanding, respecting each other and not going back to her past life and involve in them in the present life.
Sir, the decision to marry and choose a partner is entirely yours, it is a personal and independent decision. If the ex-husband is harassing his former wife, he has no legal authority over her after the divorce. She can take legal action against him for harassment or other forms of abuse. Gaining your parents' acceptance depends on your maturity and ability to effectively communicate and address their concerns. If you decide to marry, building a future together relies entirely on mutual understanding and cooperation between both parties. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
