Agreements

Home / My husband and I divorced at the Sharaii (Moslem Religious) Court. I retained custody of the children. We are now considering re-marrying one another . To protect myself in case our marriage fails a second time round, I insist that we make a premarital agreement covering property matters beforehand – and my ex-husband agrees. Can we do so and how ?

A Moslem man and woman can make a pre-marital agreement covering their mutual rights and obligations, and have it authorised at the family court or at the Sharaii Court. The court will authorise the parts relating to their property according to the 1973 Spouses’ Property Relations Act and the 1995 Family Courts’ Act.
