Getting Mehr and other rights upon divorce under Sharia Law

My husband and I married under Sharia Law. At the time of marriage, he provided a title deed stating that an apartment is not mortgaged in order to give it to me as my Mehr.

He promised to transfer the property within 5 days after the marriage. 8 months later, my husband claims that the apartment is actually mortgaged (not fully paid yet) and he refuses to transfer it stating that I do not deserve it and accusing me of being a bad wife.

He even stopped supporting me financially and he abuses me physically and emotionally. I have filed a complaint to the police after he hit me.

How can I get my Mehr? The apartment is mortgaged while I think it is not. How can I get a divorce without losing my rights?

Will I get compensation for not being financially supported?

Yes, you can file a case (divorce case) and be sure that you will take all your rights, and also once you start the case, you will have provisional alimony until the case finishes.

In the same case, you will ask for your Mehr (dowry), and all other rights. The case will take almost 7 months.

7 months? Why does it take so long?

Am I obliged to hire a lawyer? My husband left me with no money. I am borrowing from my sister for food, etc.

What is the procedure that I have to follow?

29 Apr 2020, 02:47

It takes time because there are steps for that: first court, the court of appeal, and last step; execution of the sentence.

And also as we said before, you will get monthly alimony during the case time.

Good afternoon,

Better to hire a lawyer from the beginning so he will build the case and guide you to make it fast and correctly.

Hi,

As you mentioned that the apartment is your Mahr declared at the time of marriage, then that is your right and your husband has to give you.

As a wife, you have the right to get maintenance from your husband according to his financial status. You should approach Personal status court for your rights.

Please contact me on the phone for further consultation.

thank you for your answer.

Will the court help me get the maher, maintenance even though I want to divorce him due to his abuse?

I read online that if woman initiates the divorce, she loses her rights.

6 May 2020, 22:40

Physical abuse a reason for divorce therefore you are not asking divorce without any reason. The court will consider your plea.

Please attached the police complaint and charge sheet copy with your application.
