Family Law

Unless the absence is work-related, a wife may request the dissolution of the marriage contract due to the absence of the husband whose domicile or place of residence is known if the period of his absence is not less than four months, even if financial support is available. The marriage contract shall not be dissolved unless the husband is notified to rectify the situation by residing with his wife, relocating her to live with him, or divorcing her, provided that he is granted a period not exceeding 180 days from the date of notification for such rectification.
