Thank you for reaching out with your question!

Since the mother holds legal custody of the child, she may be able to file a legal case in the UAE to reclaim custody if the father took the child without her consent.

The UAE has laws that address custody disputes, and if the child has been brought to the UAE against the custodial agreement, the mother can take legal action to protect her rights.

However, the specifics of jurisdiction and international family law can be complex, especially when both parties are from Jordan.

The mother would need to file a case in the UAE courts, and I can help guide her through this process, including filing any necessary legal paperwork and representing her interests.

I recommend discussing the details further, as this is a delicate matter involving international law.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
