Getting Mehr and other rights upon divorce under Sharia Law
Q: 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? Questions & Answers

المساءلة القانونية عند إرجاع الزوجة بعد طلاقها دون عقد ومهر جديدين
س: السلام عليكم، تزوجت في العام ٢٠١٢ ولكن قبل الدخول وبسبب خلافات تم الطلاق (وذُكِر أنها لا تحل له إلا بعقد ومهر جديد في حال الرجوع مرة أخرى). تم الصلح ولم يُحرَّر عقد جديد لجهلي بتلك الإجراءات، وحتى أبو الزوجة لم يطلب ذلك ولم نطلب شهود أو أي شيء آخر. تزوجنا وبيننا أبناء، حدثت خلافات مرة أخرى الآن في المحكمة والزوجة مُصرَّة على الطلاق، المشكلة أنها استعملت عقد الزواج القديم في القضية، وهناك عقد طلاق بعده، ما القانون المعمول به في هذه الحالة؟ هل هناك مُساءلة قانونية للطرفين؟ مع العلم بأن عقدا الزواج والطلاق الأُوَل كانا في بلدنا الأم وليس في الإمارات. وفي حال علم القضاء بورقة الطلاق، ما تبعات ذلك على الطرفين؟ تم نسب الأطفال بعقد الزواج القديم وليس هناك أي عقد زواج بعده. شكرًا!
