The reader asked: Will the courts actually rule for her requests, especially the dowry, and will the courts approve a contract issued and concluded by a church in a foreign country while I am a Muslim? Is this not considered a violation of public order?

The Sharif replied to him that the foreign woman takes the full back of her dowry, if it is agreed upon, and if both parties are Muslims, but in such a case, his marriage contract was concluded in a church, so Article (12/2) of the Civil Transactions Law applies to him, which indicated Paragraph 3 of Article 1 of the Personal Status Law referred to it, as it stated that “the objective conditions for the validity of the marriage are due to the law of each of the spouses at the time of the conclusion of the marriage.”
