Is the divorce decree issued by the American court legitimate, and is the woman considered divorced from her husband, given that the Yemeni Ministry of Foreign Affairs has ratified it, and does it contradict what the husband filed in the Yemeni court?
The annulment by the American court and its ratification by the Yemeni Ministry of Foreign Affairs are not valid, because their underlying principles contradict Islamic Sharia. The wife is still under the legal bond of her husband. It is advisable to refer the matter to the Sharia courts in Yemen to resolve the dispute.
