Top court splits wife from abusive husband

Published

The UAE’s top court championed an abused wife and divorced her from her husband after he was found guilty of systematically beating her up.

The Federal Supreme Court (FSC) also upheld a previous court sentence ordering the husband to pay his wife’s all expenses, including Dh300 monthly alimony, a divorce fee of Dh20,000; annual rent of Dh18,000 and all her jewellery.

The court also  granted custody of a little girl to her mother and ordered the man to pay his divorcee Dh47,739 in case he failed to hand over the jewellery.

Reading the sentence against the unnamed man, the judge said there was evidence the husband had regularly beaten up his wife, with a medical report showing swelling in the lips and bruises in the face and other parts of her body.

“The woman asked for a divorce from her husband…the court found that the husband’s behaviour made the couple’s marital life impossible and decided to split them,” the Arabic language daily Emarat Al Youm said.
