mordea:
Who raised you, mordea? Did you have a mother? Who fed you? Who dressed you? Was it your father?
Both my mother and father were responsible for raising me.
I didn't ask who was "responsible". I asked you: who fed you? Who dressed you? Can't you remember?

Based on LFA estimations from membership surveys:
70 per cent of fathers are not granted custody after contested legal proceedings costing thousands of dollars
80 per cent of fathers are advised not to proceed with custody applications
75 per cent of fathers lose in court over access, maintenance and property cases
You pick a site that represents disgruntled fathers, and then quote statistics about the membership of that organisation, in an attempt to show that this is the general case in Australia? You do make me laugh.
Oh. Another unbiased source. Hehehe.
Why don't you try the Australian Bureau of Statistics, instead? Happy hunting.
Seems like things are so bad for men in Australia that they have been obliged to form action groups to fight for the rights of men. Wow, you Western men really let your control slip, huh?
In Australia, we have what is called
freedom of speech. That means that people can form all kinds of special interest groups, to speak out against the government, to protest what they regard as unfair laws, etc. Do they have freedom of speech in Dubai? Will you tell me, or will you refer me to wikipedia again because you're too ashamed?
You didn't research the difference between anedote and fact, like I told you too. Wikipedia is your friend. Go look it up.
If a father must fight for years to get sole custody of his children from a mother who is a drug addict, then that suggests something is seriously wrong with the system.
What was the father's problem? Gambling? Drinking? Violence?
Oh dear. Men have fallen so far in the West that they associate success, power, confidence and strength of will with being a loser.
No. We associate patriarchial, domineering, arrogant, disciplinarian men with being a loser.

Let's get specific.
Under what circumstances can a woman be granted a divorce in Dubai? Does the same apply to a man?

Try wikipedia. Go educate yourself.
Thanks for the advice. I did. The results of my search deserve a separate post all of their own, which will follow this one.
No wonder you're so ashamed of your nation.
It was the woman's personal choice to take on the role of homebearer. No one forced her to take on that 'handicap', any more than the man is forced to take on the 'handicap' of having the burden to provide for his family.
You already told me that your woman gets no choices. You're the big man. You're in control. You tell her what to do and keep her in line.
Were you lying about that, or what?
Marriage isn't an 'IOU' arrangement, it's a compromise made of mutual exchanges and sacrifices. Asking for 'payback' after the bond is broken is juvenile, retarded and therefore typically Western.
You didn't research alimony, did you? Go and find out about it. I'm serious. Otherwise you'll stay this stupid forever.
