The legal representative of the plaintiff, the legal advisor, Muhammad Najeeb, stated that his client interrupted her leave to clarify what was happening in terms of desecration of her home by the defendant and his friends, and by confronting him with that, he assaulted her by beating and cursing, and divorced her for the second time.
He added that she resorted to family reform at the Personal Status Court in Dubai to resolve the dispute amicably, but that was not possible, which prompted her to file a lawsuit, and then the court offered reconciliation to the two parties, and it was also impossible.
For his part, the defendant denied the statements of the plaintiff, pointing to the recurrence of the problems between them, and her leaving the house more than once, indicating his desire to continue marital life between them, and that he was still spending on her by giving her his own bank card, and he attached copies of bank transfers, and asked the court to direct Decisive oath to his wife in stating that.

For their part, the two parties to the case did not accept the initial judgment and challenged it before the Court of Appeal, which clarified in the merits of its ruling that it shares the appealed judgment’s answer to the request for divorce for damages and entitlement to spousal alimony, and that he did not provide evidence showing that the woman who was with his friend in his bedroom was the wife of the latter.
