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.

uh might not have been. these are not long standing Americans, they are recent immigrants, and their culture is NOT THE SAME... I know of a lot of marriages where the wife is not owner of the home, but rather HIS mother is the co-owner of the property and will stand by her son no matter what...
LOL! You made milk come out my nose.
How can she be broke and living in a shelter if she's a gynecologist?
it can if the wife's name is not on the property. this happens in other cultures...
The husband is an SOB for sure, but I think this lady will land on her feet. She can go back to work and earn plenty of money to buy a new home and support her kids.
Time to get a hit man with a visa.
Read the article. She gave up her license before moving here. SHE'S NOT A DR. IN THIS COUNTRY.
Not in Florida. If it's the family house, then you need both spouses' signatures.
I have known of several families who put the house in the husband and his mothers name. Then the wife and the children are helpless and SOL.
La-Z-Boy with stirrups?
Months? How terrible.
Also, where in the article does it say they are Muslim?
I don't believe that. You mean to say it's against the law for a man to buy a house without his wife's signature or the other way round?
an unemployed gynecologist. stay at home mom.
dad had all the $$$'s, this is a different culture than we are used to.
She ought to update her license, and get to work and forget about the well, whatever he is.
He ain't worth the effort it takes to have.
Our nation does not protect stay at home moms, they don't look at their work as worthwhile, thanks to women like Gloria Steinem.
Yeah, I saw it. The said it would take "months" of study for her to get her license.
That's quite a possibility! The door might have and odd V shape to it as well.
Not to buy, but to sell, if it's the family home. It has to be in one of the spouses' names though to qualify for this protection.
Yeah, he just doesn't understand that in America it's the wife who gets the house, his retirement, kids and alimony when she decides to leave.
Silly backwards foreigners....
Couldn't happen in Florida
Or Texas either!
Or Minnesota. Even if one spouse has the deed and owned the property before the marraige, you can't sell without both spouses appearing at the closing with picture ID's and signing the documents.
If she would put it in proper perspective, she is rid of the POS.
