الزوج الغائب وطلب التطليق
( المادة 128 )
اذا كان الزوج غائبا غيبة قريبة فان كان له مال يمكن تنفيذ حكم النفقة فيه نفذ حكم النفقة
في ماله وان لم يكن له مال
اعذر اليه القاضي وضرب له اجلا فان لم يرسل ما تنفق منه الزوجة على نفسها او لم يحضر
للانفاق عليها طلق عليه القاضي
بعد الاجل وان كان بعيد الغيبة لا يسهل الوصول اليه او كان مجهول المحل وثبت انه لا مال له
تنفق منه الزوجة طلق عليه
القاضي بلا اعذار وضرب اجل وتسري احكام هذه المادة على المسجون الذي يعسر بالنفقة.
