ROTTEN HUBBY SOLD OUR HOME AND FLED

June 25, 2006 -- A Brooklyn anesthesiologist callously ditched his wife and three kids, leaving them homeless after he secretly sold their house and fled the country with all their money, the wife alleges. Dr. Raihan Chowdhury was deemed a fugitive Wednesday for ignoring repeated court orders to provide for his hapless family.

His wife, Sharmin Sultana, who gave up her career as a gynecologist to become a full-time mom, is now broke and staying at a women's shelter with the couple's two daughters and toddler son.

All while her husband lives in luxury in his native Bangladesh, possibly having remarried without getting a divorce here, according to her divorce documents and her lawyer's statements in Brooklyn Family Court.

Please make a list of those organizations that would spot a potential foreign doctor start up costs.

I am guessing that she did not do any certifications nor take any exams. Even so exams expire after seven years unless she took the Step 3.

See my post at 139.

This poor gal is looking at years not months to be certified and licensed to practice medicine in the USA.

Unfree Under Islam
Shariah endangers women's rights, from Iraq to Canada.

BY AYAAN HIRSI ALI

The draft Iraqi bill of rights favors men in other respects, such as the right to marry up to four wives, and the right to an easy divorce, without the interference of a court, simply by repeating "I divorce you" in the presence of two male witnesses. A wife divorced in such a fashion will receive an allowance for a period of three months to one year, and after that period nothing. On the other hand, if a wife wants a divorce, she must go to court and prove that her husband does not meet her material needs, that he is infertile and that he is impotent. Once a divorce is finalized, if there are children, the custody of the children will automatically go to the father (for boys at age 7 and for girls from the start of menstruation). Inheritance based on the Shariah means that wives will get only a small portion of the property of their husbands and a sister will get half what her brother gets.

It appears you are correct. Sharia law does allow women rights. The right to 3 month's alimony, the right to give up her children upon divorce (how liberating that must be!) The right to a few crumbs from her late husband's wealth, the right to half what she would get as a son.

Read post #146, under that 'perfect' islamic family law a woman can own property, but her husband or ex-husband controls what she can do with it.

Replace 'husband' with 'government', and you have the definition of Fascism: private ownership, under total government control.

If her med school is on the WHO list, why would it take 4-7 years for her to get her license? It makes sense that the other steps you described would take some significant time, but 4 years or more? She might as well start med school from the beginnng.

Drs. Sharmin Sultana and Chowdhury seem to have a strange past.

It appears you are correct.

Thank you. As to the treatment of women in Muslim societies, we all know that it is not what it should be.

[Grenada]

Thank you so much for correcting all of the bs posts concerning her ability to get licensed and the costs involved. My husband just finished his 4th year of OB/GYN residency and is getting ready to take his final boards. We are $300,000 in debt and each board exam step one, step two, step three, and final board certification exam costs a couple grand EACH. Not to mention the costs of MCATS, applying to medical school and applying for residency which will run $20,000 and UP. It has taken over a decade after college too get to this point and he made a whopping $32,000 last year living in New Orleans, where apartments, after Katrina, were $1,200 a month.

Becoming a certified U.S. doctor takes hard, gruelling work and a fortune. It's not a walk in the park straight to easy street. I wish more people understood that.

Comment:

The American Medical Association and their cronies in government make getting a state license to practice medicine as hard as possible.

After she completes all of the certifications, examinations and paid all the outlandish fees she still has to enter a residency program.

The shortest residency program is three years and can be longer than seven depending on the specialization.

As I said, I know many foreign resident doctors and most require several years to complete the process.

There is nothing etched in stone that even if she passes all the exams and gets certification she would right away get into a residency program.

She would be an extraordinary human being to have a state license in less than three years.

The system in this country is not kind to foreign doctors.

If she attended a specialization residency in her home country that would be wasted and totally worthless in this country.

It's all about money and the foreign doctor pays dearly to work in this country.

Here's an example of state sponsored sharia law in action:

Statement of Nina Shea, Director
Freedom House Center for Religious Freedom
Before the Congressional Human Rights Caucus
“Abdul Rahman and Anti-Conversion Laws”
April 7, 2006

...(See, New York Times. “The Crescent and the Gavel,” J. Alexander Their -a legal adviser to Afghanistan’s constitutional and judicial reform committee- March 26, 2006) fail to understand the pivotal, critical role of religious freedom. As important as property rights and criminal procedure are, without a right to religious freedom, they may not be guaranteed either, at least not for all groups. Blasphemy and apostasy will be criminalized and used against those Muslims who struggle to promote property rights for women heirs, for example – as was actually demonstrated in the arrest last October of the women’s magazine editor in Afghanistan. Individual rights across the board, equality under the law and other hallmarks of modernity will be undermined by a state-enforced retrograde interpretation of sharia.

Here

Once again - Blasphemy and apostasy will be criminalized and used against those Muslims who struggle to promote property rights for women heirs

Just a reminder: Blasphemy and apostasy both carry the death penalty...

Defend them all you wish, quibble about the finner points of what is islamic, and just how islamic sharia is, or how in keeping with sharia the current practices of islam are.

May your chains not bother you, may you pay the jizyah tax with a smile, and never do anything to offend your masters.

God help you. I won't be there to defend you. I will die before I allow that to happen to my country.

it can if the wife's name is not on the property.

That's only possible if he bought the house BEFORE he got married otherwise the mortgage company would demand her name on it as well.

Yeah. The treatment of men ain't so hot either!

BTW, how do you like FR so far?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Likely realized an American (Feminist) divorce would have destroyed him, so he took his money and bolted.

Leaving the good people of New York to pick up the consequences.

I'd rather die than abandon my family, but then again, I haven't absorbed the superior culture of TROP.

[OmahaFields]

It's fun. I am learning a lot. Both from the post I read and the googling I have to do to keep up with the subjects.

[OmahaFields]

There may be more to the story. There was a post that indicated that the wife may have been in Bangladesh as late as 2003. Maybe he was 'married' over there but not completely forthcoming of his status when he bought the house.

[OKIEDOC]

From the posts on this thread lots of people do not know or understand what it takes to be a doctor in the United States.

[null and void]

Yeah! I learned quite a bit today just responding to your challenge.

Thanks!

[OKIEDOC]

Thats interesting and sheds light on why she didn't apply for the ECFMG when she came.

It may explain why she doesn't want to return to her native homeland.

[after dark]

With her education could she become a nurse?

Could she sell medical equipment?

[after dark]

How long would it take for her to become a nurse midwife?

I bet she could become a lactation consultant in a short time.

[OKIEDOC]

She would be required to take nursing classes for at least a year, pass exams before getting certification.

Otherwise she could sell medical equipment.
