A lawyer who returned home from a three-month long holiday to find his wife had divorced him has asked the judge to scrap the ruling.

Raj Jandoo, 60, from Edinburgh, said his ex-wife Nerinder Kaur, 49, was already remarried by the time he got home.

Ms Kaur was granted a ‘quickie divorce’ at Dunfermline Sheriff Court in February 2016, although details of the case have only come to light today.

Mr Jandoo, who was ordered to do community service in 2013 for tearing his shirt off in public and calling his wife a ‘bitch’, says he has no interest in continuing the relationship.


But he says they have financial matters to sort out and a quickie divorce was not appropriate.



Following a hearing, Judge Lord Woolman said he was inclined to grant Mr Jandoo’s request but added matters were complicated by his wife remarrying.

He said cancelling the divorce would leave her in ‘legal limbo’ as she ‘cannot be married to two men at the same time’.

The judge has instead given the lawyer and his former wife three months to come to an agreement.

The court heard the couple met in 2010 through an online dating agency and married in December 2012.

Shortly before the marriage, Mr Jandoo transferred two neighbouring flats in Edinburgh, worth £180,000 and £56,700, into Miss Kaur’s name.

He told the court he made these property transfers to show his ‘love and commitment to her’ but insisted they were not ‘outright gifts’.

The couple split within three months of their wedding day and Miss Kaur first sought a simplified divorce in May 2015 but her application was refused by a sheriff.

She was granted a divorce in February 2016, but Mr Jandoo said he did not receive emails or letters about the case as he was out of the country and unable to challenge the decision.

In a written ruling, Lord Woolman expressed sympathy with Mr Jandoo and said he had suffered ‘despair, distrust and desolation’ following the breakdown of his marriage.
