Minutes:-
Ahmed
Nabil started the meeting with a 2 minute introduction“Good Morning everyone today my secretary and I are going to consult the
divorce problem with Ms.Khuload on behalf the association for Women's Rights and
Mr. Abdullah Altenaji on behalf of the family court. First, I’d like to start by
introducing myself am Ahmed Nabil the chairmen of this consulting company this
is Mr. Ahmed Nasser my secretary who’s going to start with this meeting Mr.
Ahmed please start with the point you prepared for
us.’’
Ahmed Nasser started with the first point “Good
morning everybody; like our chairman Mr. Ahmed Nabil said we are going to talk
about 4 main points, The first point is the high percentage of divorce in the
UAE; Ms. Khuloud since you are representing women in our case can you tell me
why the rate of divorce is high in your opinion?”
The conversation between Ahmed Nasser and Ms. Khuloud took around 3
minutes
Ms.
Khuloud Al-Zaabi answered Ahmed Nasser’s question and replied to him with
another question
“Thank
you for having us here to discuss this major problem in our
society.
And
the percentage of divorce is getting higher and higher because of two main
reasons; the reasons are:-
v
Quick
change in society ; for
example families in the UAE no longer stay together like children are not
interact with their parents a lot,also parents are counting on the maids to
raise the children .
v
Family
interference in the couples life ,
and this is a main reason that can ruin everything between the two couples .For
example, The parents are poisoning the couples minds to get divorce and let them
get married again but that’s not a solution; they just made the problem
worse.
And
don’t forget Mr. Ahmed that there is another main reason which is the cultural
clash when a local man marries from other
nationalities’
Ahmed
Nasser gives his opinion about Ms. Khuloud’s question
“I
agree with you; some of the local men are getting married to women from other
countries which might lead to a cultural clash which leads to divorce. The
second reason is the high amount of dowry asked for”
Ahmed
Nabil redirected Ahmed Naseer’s second point and made it a question to Mr.
Abdullah Al-Tenaji asking
“Since we are discussing the high rate of dowry Mr. Abdullah why don’t
the courts do a specific limit for dowries so it becomes possible for all locals
to afford it, and can you tell us about the advantages and disadvantage of
divorce”
Mr. Al-Tenaji stated his opinion and then asked for
sulotions
· Thank you Mr. Ahmed for having me here
today.
· Actually we are in the process of solving this
problem.
And the advantages and disadvantages of divorce that you’re wondering
about:-
1. An advantage of divorce for the couples is in case of they are forced
by their family to get married; in this case better for both to get divorced if
it does not work out.
2. The disadvantage is it creates problems and hate between the two
families, Also the children are raised without one of the couple.
· However I am here to solve the problem of divorce in this meeting
because it is a serious problem; we can’t solve it in one
meeting”
Mr.
Ahmed Nabil and Mr. Ahmed Nasser gave the suggested
recommendations.
Suggestions:-
1- Make educational lectures to introduce the
lifestyle of married couples and the possible problems that can occur for the
two kinds male and female
2- Create a period of time for the couples to
live alone before divorce and see if they are willing to live alone without
needing the other before proceeding with the
divorce.
3- Let the female and the male interact with
each other in the work place and in the educational life with respecting limits
so they learn how to act in the presence of the
other”
Ahmed
Nabil ended the meeting by thanking the participants for coming and hoping they
got the answers they came looking for.
