Insurance claim of no liability to cover suicide cases

A person expired and the cause of death is suicide.

Insurers in the UAE have rejected the claim on the grounds of the suicide exclusion which is applicable by law:

"This insurance does not cover death as consequences of:

c) Directly or Indirectly occasioned through any unlawful or criminal act of the insured person."

Is suicide considered unlawful or criminal act in the UAE?

Hello,

What does the death certificate say regarding the cause of death?

What is the nature of insurance claimed?

The cumulative analysis of the documents is required for forming the legal opinion on the situation.

Kindest regards
