Divorce isn't such a tragedy. A tragedy's staying in an unhappy marriage, teaching your children the wrong things about love. Nobody ever died of divorce.

Answer

We have already talked about international marriages. You have to be as careful about your choice as possible, and remember that a family is not eternal. Divorce statistics in the 21st century is just threatening… That is why if you decided to marry an overseas prince or princess, you have to understand clearly in which country and on what terms you are going to live; which legislation is acting in respect to foreigners, when you will be able to obtain a temporary and permanent residence permit, when you will be granted the right of citizenship, what will happen to your children in case of marriage annulment, and what will happen to your property. If everything is more or less clear with Europe and America, Muslim countries for many of us are a mystery.

Problems of international marriages and divorces are raised daily in my practice. I wrote many articles and gave many explanations on the issue. Here are two of them.
