Saudi man takes off his bride because she blocked him on WhatsApp

The Civil Status Court in the Saudi city of Jeddah ruled the divorce of two newlyweds three months after their marriage, and ordered the return of the dowry and the net to the groom who requested the divorce after the bride banned him on WhatsApp.

According to Okaz newspaper, the Jeddah Status Court received a lawsuit from a groom stating that he married a university girl and gave her a dowry of 50,000 Saudi riyals and a net of gold. It was agreed that the wedding would take place at a later and near time, but the dispute between the groom and his wife prevented that.

In his lawsuit, the groom said: "There were many problems between us, and the bride banned my mobile number and also banned WhatsApp, and I could not communicate with her, then I contacted her father to no avail, and I ask that she be obligated to submit to the marital home or return me my dowry and the engagement network."

After the court presented the lawsuit filed against the bride and her father, the father said that “the groom kept his daughter for hours for long periods, and performed behaviors that made him hate her, and that his daughter was not ready to submit to him until after she completed her university studies after two years.”

The groom responded to that by saying that “what her father said about him sitting and secluded with his bride is true, and what he mentioned about disliking her is not true.”

After a confrontation session, the groom agreed to divorce his bride in exchange for her returning him the entire dowry and the delivered gold set. The court asked the two parties to the conflict to attend the court and all parties complied with that. .

After the young man admitted before the court that he had received the gold and the dowry, the newlyweds were divorced and the bride was made clear that she had to have the legal waiting period, and the husband was made aware that his wife was not permissible for him except with a new contract that fulfilled the pillars and conditions.
