The marriage contract is the ground on which marital life arises, and any fundamental fact that may be unable to be unable to be disclosed except with great difficulty, such as psychological illness and chronic diseases, and everything that would affect the life of the husband, if before satisfied, otherwise he has the right to retreat, and that cheating is also.

The Emirates Today received inquiries from wives asking to know the legal position on the request for divorce for the damage, after discovering secrets that their husbands were hiding before the association and did not open them with them, and they were recently discovered, and they caused them psychological harm, including their suffering of certain diseases or the presence of unhealthy habits they have , Or they had relations with others.

For his part, Legal Adviser, Dr. Youssef Al -Sharif, stressed the importance of frankness everything before marriage, so that its late discovery is not a source of marital disputes and disputes, which may cause damage or anger to one of the two parties, which does not have the ability to coexist and adapt to it, stressing that the frankness is a pillar Essential for successful marriage.

Another wife said that she discovered that her husband was associated with another before his marriage to her, and he did not tell her about this, but she discovered this by chance by one of her acquaintances, considering that hiding him from her such something caused her psychological harm and lost her confidence in him.

On one of the cases, a young (Gulf) filed a lawsuit after one month of marriage (honeymoon), calling for her divorce and the abdication of her rights, after she discovered that her husband has chronic disease since his childhood, and it is difficult for her to deal with him and form an independent family.

Legal advisor, Dr. Youssef Al -Sharif, said that the basic principle is that it is permissible to seek a divorce for the damage, but there are several conditions for this damage, the most important of which is that it is not possible with the ten times of the virtue, and one of the types of damage is the consequence of one of the spouses, and one of the conditions of the disease is to be alienated or uninterrupted, The current law mentioned examples of this, including madness, leprosy, leprosy, and diseases that prevent sexual pleasure, such as cursing, horn and the like, explaining that “in these cases the marriage is dissolved, whether the cause is present before the contract or after it, as well as in cases of infectious disease that he fears from Clabia is like AIDS and the like, but the right to request annulment in science falls before the contract or satisfaction after it explicitly or an indication, except in the case of the cause of sexual pleasure, and the state of the infectious disease of the degree of perishing does not fall, and therefore if the husband had a process before marriage without Disclosure, but it has been learned after marriage, because silence and contentment with it falls the right to seek divorce because of it. But when it is proven dissent, it is permissible to request divorce in this case, and even in the case of silence and contentment, then if the bad damage and smell is increasing, in a way that cannot be accepted, then this case from our point of view allows the request for divorce for the damage ».

He pointed out that the law gave the wife for a year to file a divorce lawsuit from the date of her knowledge of what he hid for her, which is considered “cheating in the marriage contract.”
