The second wife of flamboyant MP George Galloway has divorced him over his unreasonable behaviour.
Dr Amineh Abu Zayyad, 42, a Palestinian scientist, was granted a "quickie" decree nisi.
She filed a complaint about the 54-year-old Respect MP's friendships with other women, claiming his behaviour left her depressed.
Dr Abu Zayyad was granted a divorce on the uncontested ground that the marriage had irretrievably broken down because of her husband's unreasonable behaviour.
She agreed she still shared the MP's home in Streatham, south west London.
But the scientist said they had separate households and did not share a bedroom or take their meals together.
Neither party was in court for the brief hearing before Judge Martin Berry.
The Scottish-born MP - facetiously called Gorgeous George - represented Glasgow constituencies for Labour before being expelled from the party in October 2003.
He then set up his Respect Party and became Respect MP for Bethnal Green and Bow in east London.
He married first wife Elaine Fyffe in 1979 and they have a daughter Lucy.
They divorced in 1999 and the following year he married Dr Abu Zayyad.
In May 2007, he had a son by his Lebanese third "wife", researcher Rima Husseini.
