Bahrain: Man Refuses To Repay BD2,500, Court Sides With Ex-Wife
A man who accepted BD2,500 from his wife to cover dowry, wedding expenses, gold, and household furnishings — only to later abandon the marriage — has been ordered by a Bahraini court to return the full amount. The verdict came after the woman filed a civil case through her lawyer, AbdulAdheem Hubail. She told the court that the money was given to her then-husband in instalments during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, a time when many weddings were postponed and financial difficulties were common. According to the breakdown provided in court, BD1,000 was intended for the dowry, BD600 for the wedding ceremony, BD700 was raised from selling her gold, and BD200 was spent on furnishing their shared home. Despite receiving the funds, the man later walked away from the marriage and denied owing his wife any money. As evidence, the woman submitted her bank statement showing transfers made to him. The court referred the case for further investigation to verify the debt. A second witness, found credible by the court, confirmed that the woman had lent the man the money in stages while he was unemployed. The man had reportedly acknowledged the debt on several occasions and promised to repay her once he found work — a promise he never fulfilled. The court noted that the bank transfers went uncontested. Combined with the witness testimony, the judge ruled there was sufficient proof of the debt and ordered the man to repay the full BD2,500 to the woman.
