The answer

A woman cannot obtain a divorce without her husband's consent, except by a judicial ruling that separates them, if the judge is convinced that she has been harmed by him or that he has not fulfilled her rights. A divorced woman loses her right to custody if she marries or does not reside in the child's country, and it transfers to her mother. However, in this case, the grandmother's right to custody is forfeited. It is advised to work towards preserving the family and bringing the wife back.
