An Arab wife complained of continuous disagreements and problems with her husband’s mother, who came to reside with them, as she decided to file a divorce case after her relationship with her husband was strained, and he stood by his mother against her, inquiring about the legal procedures to be able to obtain the back of her dowry and expenses and to prove custody of her children and their full expenses.

This came in a new episode, presented by Legal Counsel, Dr. Youssef Al Sharif, through the "Emirates Today" platforms on social media, to shed light on the new articles contained in the recently issued Personal Status Law.

The questioner said that she "married 13 years ago to a person of her nationality, with whom she had two sons, 12 and eight years, and she traveled with her husband to the country in 2014, where they have settled, since that time, and they both entered and have a private school."

She added that "the father-in-law died recently, so he had to bring his mother to live with them, because he is her only son," noting that "she has not fallen short with her mother-in-law since her arrival, but in return she did not find good treatment from her, as she was always screaming at her and making recurring problems." And she did not know the reason for that, but she was patient and enduring because she is the mother of her husband and because she is an old woman like her mother, and she does not find any support except for her son, but things increased beyond their limits, even her husband could not bear it anymore, and became nervous, but he blamed her and stood by his mother, to That the differences between them increased.”

And she continued, "She decided, with the continuation of these disputes, to leave the house, and travel to her family, to find a solution for her, and indeed they contacted her husband, and he apologized for what he had done, and we reconciled, and she returned again to the state, but she realized that her husband sought her return because of the lack of His ability to manage the affairs of his mother, as well as the two children, during her absence, and things did not last as they were for long, so soon problems and disagreements returned again.”

She indicated that at the behest of her family, a lawyer from Egypt contacted her, advised her to go to family guidance, sent her a list of claims, and asked her to register it, and indeed she did so, wondering whether the judicial procedures that she is taking are correct, especially since the lawyer mentioned that the department formed to consider the case It is made up of three judges and not one judge as it was found.

For his part, the legal advisor, Dr. Youssef Al-Sharif, explained that the judicial system differs from one country to another, so if personal status cases in Egypt consist of three judges, as the lawyer in Egypt told you, but in the UAE, personal status cases are considered by a partial problem From one judge, not three, and this is what was stipulated in Clause (1) of Article (8) of the UAE Personal Status Law, which states that “the lower court of first instance, formed by a single judge, has jurisdiction to adjudicate matters of personal status.” Therefore, the questioner She is proceeding according to the correct procedures in her claim.
