Wife wins divorce against 'intransigent' husband

Published

The Federal Supreme Court (FSC) supported an Emirati woman and divorced her from her husband after he rejected many bids to go to her father’s house and reconcile with his wife who he had mistreated her.

The FSC said it agreed to the woman’s request to be divorced from her Emirati husband because of his “intransigence and refusal” to go to her father’s house and bring her back home, insisting instead on her forced return.

The woman had filed a divorce case against her husband in Khor Fakkan but was rejected, prompting her to appeal the sentence. After the appeals court granted her a divorce, the husband resorted to the FSC.

“The husband has told court many times he would not go to the house of his wife’s father and that she must return home…the wife asked court to divorce her because of his maltreatment of her,” 'Emarat Al Youm' daily said.

“After hearing the case and because of the husband’s intransigence and refusal to bring his wife from her father’s house, the FSC found that a reconciliation has become impossible…it upheld an earlier sentence and separated the couple.”
