An (Arab) couple agreed to separate by mutual consent, after a marriage that lasted 15 years, as a result of the difference in social culture. The wife refuses her husband’s excessive openness in his relations with girls and women, wondering how to document the agreement that he wrote, and preserves the rights of each party, including the children.

This came as part of a legal awareness session, presented by Legal Counsel, Dr. Youssef Al Sharif, through "Emirates Today", to shed light on the Personal Status Law and its new articles.

The man said, "He was associated with his wife in their town 15 years ago, and then moved to work and life in the UAE since the beginning of their marriage, and they had two children (12 and 9 years old), both of whom work in their field, the husband is an electronics engineer, and the wife is an accountant, and some time ago, differences began between them as a result of the difference. In the social culture, the husband sees that his relationship with girls and women, whether at work or outside, is normal and a manifestation of social relationships, while the wife does not accept that at all.

While the wife said that “in order to maintain respect and preserve the ten years between us, we agreed with all affection and respect to end the marriage relationship, and to preserve the rights of all parties (husband, wife, children), and everything related to children such as alimony, housing, custody, vision, education and others.”

The couple asked about the legal procedures to document their agreement in a legal way that preserves the rights of all.

For his part, Dr. Youssef Al-Sharif confirmed, “The case of the spouses represents the model that we have always advised as a refined method in relations, in marital life, either with good treatment or with kindness. By divorce, which does not harm anyone, neither the husband, nor the wife, nor the children, so that respect occurs, rights are preserved, and the relationship is transformed from conjugal to friendship whenever possible.

Al-Sharif said that the procedures begin with drafting the agreement according to what was done between the two parties, then go to the Family Guidance Committee at the Personal Status Court in the emirate in which the spouses reside, and now this is done remotely, and the committee opens a family case file, sets a date, and on the date the agreement of the two parties is proven With a report they sign, and the report is signed by the relevant committee member, and approved by the competent judge, and each party is given an official copy, to have an executive document in case of disagreement on any of its clauses in the future.

He explained that this agreement or the record may not be challenged by any means unless it is in violation of the law, and this is what Article (16) of the Personal Status Law stipulates: With the exception of issues of wills, inheritance and the like, urgent and temporary cases, urgent and temporary orders in alimony, custody and guardianship, and cases in which reconciliation is not envisaged, such as cases to prove marriage and divorce.

And “If the conciliation is made between the parties before the Family Guidance Committee, this conciliation is established in a report signed by the parties and the competent member of the committee. If he violates the provisions of this law.”
