\nAn Irish woman embroiled in a divorce court fight with her wealthy estranged Iranian husband has told a High Court judge that she was threatened with “house arrest” at their home in Dubai after having an affair.\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Businessman Mehrdad Radseresht, 72, says Barbara Spain-Radseresht, who is 49 and used to work in the travel industry, agreed to a divorce when they lived in the Middle East more than seven years ago.<\/p>\n
Mrs Spain-Radseresht, who comes from Dublin and now lives in London, disputes his claim and says she is entitled to a fair share of a marital fortune she says runs into tens of millions of pounds.<\/p>\n
A High Court judge has been asked to make decisions about the validity of the marriage.<\/p>\n
Mr Justice Cohen is analysing evidence at public hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in London.<\/p>\n
He said the couple could be named.<\/p>\n
Mr Radseresht says they had reached a divorce settlement agreement in Dubai in 2009 after Mrs Spain-Radseresht was unfaithful.<\/p>\n
Mrs Spain-Radseresht says she was tricked into signing paperwork.<\/p>\n
She said she only found out about the “alleged Dubai divorce” a year ago when she made a separate divorce application.<\/p>\n
The judge was told that a private investigator hired by Mr Radseresht discovered that Mrs Spain-Radseresht was having an affair in 2009.<\/p>\n
Mrs Spain-Radseresht said on Wednesday that her husband threatened “house arrest” and dragged her around by her hair after learning of the affair.<\/p>\n
She told the judge: “This was a terrifying experience.”<\/p>\n
But she said they had “started afresh” and moved to London.<\/p>\n
Mrs Spain-Radseresht said Mr Radseresht was “always abusive”.<\/p>\n
“He gets very angry, then he gets very nice,” she added.<\/p>\n
“I am very used to him changing from being very, very nasty to very, very nice.”<\/p>\n
Mr Radseresht denies Mrs Spain-Radseresht’s abuse allegations.<\/p>\n
He shook his head from his seat at the back of the court as she gave evidence.<\/p>\n
Mr Justice Cohen has heard how the couple had lived in Dubai, Iran, London and California.<\/p>\n
Mrs Spain-Radseresht also told of “two palaces” in Iran with a combined value of more than \u00a35 million and a home in Ireland.<\/p>\n
The hearing continues and is expected to end later this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
