My husband hides his income and assets so he looks poor and avoids paying enough maintenance. What should I do?
Hiding income to avoid paying due maintenance is an injustice, not merely careful money management. A husband who is truly able must provide for the family's needs properly. Note down expenses and the signs of real income you observe as evidence. If you feel threatened when you raise it, call the police on 999, and Talian Kasih 15999 for support. The Syariah Court can assess the husband's real means and set fair maintenance; the officers there will explain how. Do not let the children go without out of fear of claiming your rights.
