A woman is seeking Dh45 million in compensation from her Emirati ex-husband for enduring a loveless marriage, depriving her of conjugal rights and causing emotional agony.
In a civil compensation case, heard at the Dubai Courts, the woman alleged that her ex-husband suffered from sexual dysfunction, reported 'Gulf News'.
She married the accused in 2008 and spent about 15 months with him.
She alleged her husband did not sleep with her in the first four months of their marriage. "When he did for the first time, he treated me inhumanly and inappropriately...I suffered mentally, emotionally and lost any hope to become a mother...He made me resign from my work...I lost my only income. I had to borrow money from family and friends," she told the court.
She alleged the wealthy businessman, who was a former public figure, was a womaniser. He married more than 12 times, she added.
