My foreign husband went back to his country and has not returned, and I am pregnant. What can I do?

Look after yourself and your pregnancy first, then protect your child's rights with complete documents. Attend your antenatal check-ups as usual and tell family members who can help. Make sure your marriage is registered, because it makes registering the birth with the father's name easier. Keep your marriage certificate, a copy of your husband's passport and all communication with him. A maintenance claim against a husband who is abroad is more complicated but not impossible; ask the Syariah Court or the state Islamic religious affairs office about suitable steps. If you find it hard to support yourself, contact JKM or the zakat centre. Keep praying, but do not let hope make you put off important matters. See abandoned by a husband.
