A Saudi court has ordered the annulment of the marriage of a wife over 72 years of age in response to a lawsuit she filed and justified her request to divorce her husband for his neglect and abandonment of her in the marital bed for 15 years.
According to the judgment deed, the court informed the wife that she had to wait for three months starting from the date of receiving the judgment at the beginning of the week. Until her waiting period expires, the court ordered the marginalization of the marriage contract.
The plaintiff had explained before the court the occurrence of discord, hypocrisy and hatred for her husband, from whom she bore seven children, and said that her continuation of her life in this situation is a matter from which the purposes of marriage in the Shari’ah of affection, mercy, housing and chastity are not achieved. Release her kindly after he deserted her in bed for more than 15 years and what caused her psychological, social and physical harm.
The husband replied to the lawsuit that he was happy with his wife and did not want to divorce her and provided her with all her requirements to the fullest, and said that he married her 9 years ago due to circumstances after her health deteriorated and asked for her advice and the dismissal of the lawsuit.
The court referred the couple to the reconciliation committee to try to reconcile the relationship, and the wife insisted on the divorce.
