I need advice on what to do I am Ghanaian and my partner is from Pakistan. We
have a 1 year old son together and currently pregnant with my second child due to have him in two weeks time. We have been together for 3years. I was
granted my BRP last year 2019 and through our son my partner was granted
his too. He went on his first holiday after 14 years of living in uk to Pakistan to marry another woman without my notice. He then
returned back after a month to tell me on the phone, he was forced by his family to do
so. I’m beginning to think he only came into my life for his papers. I feel used and betrayed and the condition I’m in is making me loose my mind :oops: I know he has been granted 2 and a half and only come and see his son once in a while to keep in contact. Since he came back from Pakistan we do not live together. He does not spend time with his son by taking him out to parks as a father should, just a 10 min play and goes off to work.he comes once every other week.
I’m confused in what to do because I feel betrayed by him I don’t thing what we had was genuine. How can he marry someone he does not know from going to see his family. He’s now asking me to accept this as he lives in the uk and the woman he married lives in Pakistan.

What exactly is your UK immigration status?? A brp can be many different categories.
What visa exactly does your partner hold? Are you married or unmarried partners?

He made the Islamic marriage with me as it’s called Nikka. A priest came to the house and read the Quran and gave us a certificate. He holds a resident permit for two and a half years.

If this islamaic marriage took place in the UK, then you are not legally married at all. Islamic ceremonies performed in the UK are not recognised.
Unclear how you got 2.5 years leave to remain if your child is not British.

He is legally married in Pakistan but can't sponsor that lady until gets his settlement. I don't think he has got any visa because of your any assistance because you yourself aren't settled yet and perhaps the kids too.
The opinion expressed as above is neither a professional advice nor contesting/competing to other member's opinion/advice.

He got married before he came to London and over stayed in the system for 14 years. When we met he did not tell me he was already married. He is telling me all this after being together for three years. Before he got his brp he told the home office he’s can’t go back home cause of his marriage with me in the uk and can’t go back his family does not accept it they will kill him. So they granted his stay based on his son for him to have a relationship with. So his first holiday back he gets married to the woman who he was married to before he got together with me. My assistants was needed because the home office asked about the relationship he has with his son and how much in contact he was with him. Now that he’s settled with a brp he does not do half of these things. Thats why I think he planned it all.
