Husband shocked as wife delivers baby while he was overseas for years, Dubai Court hears

An Indian husband got the shock of his life when his wife delivered a baby boy while he was working in a foreign country for years, the Dubai Criminal Court heard.

The wife, who worked as a nurse and allegedly had an illicit relationship with a compatriot, delivered a baby boy and registered her husband as the father of the baby. The husband had not visited his wife for many years.

The husband, RJ, 48, was shocked when he learnt that his wife had delivered a baby boy on April 22, 2010 in a Dubai hospital while he had not even met her after 2006.

“In 2006, I received a job offer in Kuwait so I left UAE while my wife and my son stayed back. I moved from one country to another without returning to the UAE. In 2007, she filed a case in an Indian court asking for divorce. Last year, I learnt from friends that she had another child,” the shocked husband told the court.

Police arrested the wife SB, 40, and confronted her with the allegations. She admitted having an illicit relationship with ST, 44, a jobless compatriot.

“After delivering the baby, I registered him under my husband’s name and obtained a birth certificate. I also got my second child a passport and a UAE ID card,” she admitted to Sergeant Amir Saif.

Her partner, ST, denied having any relationship with SB.

However, DNA tests proved that ST was the biological father and SB was the biological mother of the boy.

The woman is now facing charges of having an extra-marital relationship, forging facts on birth certificate, passport, UAE residence visa and National ID card for the boy.

Her partner is also accused of having consensual sexual relationship with a married woman. The court will reconvene on September 23.
