[00:00:00]I don't hear you now. So, some of our viewers reached out to me and asked me to do a fact findings about this new a certain new UK married law stroke deportation law for married foreigners.

[00:00:17]So, I'm just going to explain how it is how the law be. For example, if me be UK citizen and I marry a Nigerian woman, I come carry the Nigeria woman come UK, we call they stay together. At the end of the day, we come divorce immediately after we divorce that woman don't automatically lose her UK state. she go immediately face deportation or if now woman bring a man from another country marry and they go marry for UK e if they divorce that man go automatically lose his stay and they will deport him. So that is the new UK deportation marriage law for foreigners. We are still going to look more into it to know if it's true because I saw the trend and I'm sure some of you also saw the trend.

[00:01:18]People are talking about it that because of this new UK law now women disobedient wife don't they behave now for UK because we have had issues of women putting their husband in trouble after their husband don't go carry them from this Africa country or from let me use our country as an example after their husband don't go carry them from Nigeria carry them come UK the woman cost her to they misbehave because Know say UK they favor women pass men they call they misbehave put the man for trouble divorce the man immediately come be like say they use the man they get h get visa the same thing with women too women see they face after they don't come Nigeria don't marry man carry the man come the call they misbehave no n don't come off say no they marry again you don't find a way but this It depends on the number of years. Oh, it depends on the number of years. No be say you don't stay with husband reach 5 years, 10 years, you don't get your certain papers, you cannot face divorce.

[00:02:32]Oh, we they talk about they just carry come n they just start to they give trouble. They just start to they give trouble now. Well, maybe we listen to some few people may they do this content that are in UK since UK government said divorce your husband we send you back to your country even asylum you will not give you you are going back you and your partner what did they happen everywhere don't count small yes at now we can go to Tik Tok and we we will leave nobody's fighting anybody. Now this is my question for you people and our women living in the UK with their husbands.

[00:03:17]What happen when a husband does suddenly turn to good people good person now or they don't learn their lessons or what?

[00:03:23]What happened? No more fight. They beat again they no longer cheating. What happened? Wait I want to know what happened. What happened? The the law just reset everybody brain. I want to understand all of a sudden. So you people were not really really fighting for your freedom. You people were not actually fighting for your freedom. What were you people fighting for before? Why not the divorce again? Now I want to know. So all of a sudden now you people can actually stay in marriage now in the UK. Now you can >> UK women what's going on since their government say divorce and face the party.

[00:04:05]Everybody don't enjoy their marriage.

[00:04:07]Now all their men they know they treat them badly again.

[00:04:12]You see when you hear give them an inch they want a mile. Give them an inch they want a mile. Now everything that don't our men are doing good just one law UK women no complain again nobody they drag each other again. All marriages are in order. Congratulations.

[00:04:40]>> And the law not be just for only foreigners.

[00:04:44]H that is not be only for person maybe UK the other person from another like if say you migrate from Nigeria and you two be Nigeria. You migrate go UK as married couple. Be Nigeria as married couple.

[00:04:59]Come UK come stay. If you decide to divorce so early early I say late spend 5 years 10 years for UK get pap already come divorce they deport you now if you come together decide to come divorce so early they will deport you now too because you came as a married couple now not come marry again so early stage of coming to UK they will deport you now too. So now they say marriages are now working in UK women are not complaining again and then let's listen to this woman. There are more people are making content like this who are in UK >> law they don't want to divorce anymore.

[00:05:46]So this is because of the new rule. Yes.

[00:05:49]So listen what is the new law we are talking about. So if you are immigrant and you come to the UK especially if you are the dependent and whatsoever reason you feel you want to file for a divorce that you want to divorce your partner.

[00:06:01]What the UK government is simply saying is this that if you decide to leave your partner that brought you to the UK that you decided now that you want to divorce your partner what you need to do is to go back to your home country. SO IF YOU NEED TO COME back to the UK again you need to reapply. like you can't file for a divorce and still be in their country.

[00:06:21]Especially if you're a dependent and you do not have the right to remain in the country. If you decided to leave your partner, go back to your home country.

[00:06:28]If you need another application, you need to apply from your home country.

[00:06:31]Because of that, many women men too that have filed for divorce are saying that they want their partner back that they don't want to divorce anymore so that they will not send them back.

[00:06:40]So easy.

[00:06:41]>> Okay. Uh now we now do the research if the if all those things are actually true. So this is the question I asked Grock to help me do the research. I said is there any UK law for married foreigners who divorce and may face deportation? They say yes.

[00:07:03]There is relevant UK immigration policy, not a brand new standalone deportation on divorce, but it's not automatic deportation.

[00:07:17]UK rules tie certain visas, especially spouse, partner, family visa or dependent visa, to an ongoing genuine relationship. If the marriage ends in separation or divorce, the visa is no longer valid and the home affairs can cail shorty it can shorten it.

[00:07:46]Rules you and your spouse, you and your sponsor sartner must notify the home affairs, the home office of the separation or divorce. Use the official online services or post a form letter.

[00:08:03]Failure to do so is an immigration breach that can harm future application.

[00:08:10]The home the home office typically issued a courtelment notice giving you 60 days from the date of the letter, not the separate date.

[00:08:23]Leave the UK voluntarily. apply for new visa or settlement.

[00:08:30]If you overstay beyond the contail period without a valid application, you you became unlawful present. This can lead to enforced removal, detention and banned on re-entry 1 to 10 years depending on circumstances.

[00:08:50]He said this have been standard policy for years under the immigration rules.

[00:08:56]It is not a sudden 2025 2026 new law targeting specific nationality eg Nigeria.

[00:09:07]Despite viral social media claims, those post often extra uh them misinterpret the rules.

[00:09:18]So people might just be according to the explanation people e content creator might just decide to just add pepper and salt for the whole thing. Don't be saying that that might actually mean you understand. Don't be saying now actually actually there are rules to it. Even if you divorce, you still have some certain options to apply and also to notify the home office of your divorce and then know whatever you want to do. So this law not be new law. It don't they may there say many Nigerians don't know about them. So it is not like automatic deportation like people they spread out. It is not automatic n they deport you. there are still other avenue that you can look into in order for you and to still have a stay in the UK. So the the story is partially true and it's not really partially true. So there are see other things tie to
