Husband's Divorce Rights and Wife's Alimony
Under Emirati law, the husband's right to file for divorce due to harm is established if there is evidence of harm that renders the continuation of the marital life impossible. This includes abandonment without excuse or physical and moral abuse reaching levels that make coexistence unfeasible. Additionally, the wife has the right to refuse housing or moving to the marital home without a legitimate reason, which allows the husband to suspend payment of maintenance, as her unjustified refusal delays her right to alimony. The law emphasizes the necessity of having a proper, secure residence, and if the wife intentionally refuses to return or to permit her husband to reside with her, the husband has the right to seek divorce and to reduce the alimony.
