Al-Samit Implements Civil Code Reforms for Family Home Protection
Minister of Justice Nasser Youssef Al-Sumait confirmed that the Council of Ministers has approved an amendment to Article 830 of the Civil Law to establish legal protections for family homes in cases of dividing or auctioning residential properties. The aim of the amendment is to ensure family stability and protect the rights of partners, especially when the property is the only family home that cannot be replaced. The court is now empowered to keep the property in joint ownership for a specified period upon the request of one of the partners, taking into account their social and financial circumstances. Additionally, the amendment allows partners to request to acquire a share of the property at a value determined by an expert, ensuring a fair resolution without necessarily resorting to auctioning the property. Clear regulations have been set regarding the deposit of the agreed amount to guarantee the seriousness of the requests and the speed of procedures. The minister emphasizes that the home has significant emotional value as a place of family life and cherished memories for children, which motivates the creation of legal solutions that protect rights and maintain family stability.
