The wife’s rights in the event of termination of the marriage contract.

The marriage contract in Saudi Arabia will be terminated if one of the cases necessary for its termination appears in accordance with what is stipulated in the Saudi Personal Status Law, provided that this case is proven before the court.

The marriage is annulled by issuing a judicial ruling by the competent personal status court after a lawsuit is filed by the wife, requesting the annulment of the marriage contract for any reason that necessitates this.

The wife’s rights in the event of termination of the marriage contract in Saudi Arabia are as follows:

In the event that the marriage contract is terminated due to illnesses and diseases, the wife is entitled to the remainder of her dowry, unless the termination was the result of a defect in the wife that preceded the contract, and the termination was before consummation or seclusion, where the husband recovers the illness he paid. However, if the defect was in the husband and preceded the contract and the termination took place after consummation and seclusion, the wife has the right to the full dowry.

The wife is entitled to the remainder of her dowry if a divorce is requested as a result of her husband not spending on her.

If the marriage contract is terminated by the wife as a result of harm and discord and she proves this, the wife is entitled to her full dowry.

If the marriage contract is terminated before consummation or seclusion as a result of the wife’s request, and it turns out that the reason is due to the wife, she must return the dowry.

The wife is entitled to the full dowry if the marriage contract is terminated as a result of the husband swearing an oath of allegiance or zihar.

The wife is entitled to her full dowry, in addition to the marital home furniture and gold jewelry if it is proven that she owns it, as well as the right to alimony if she is pregnant until she gives birth.

The wife is entitled to her full dowry in the event of her divorce as a result of the husband’s loss or absence, and she is also entitled to the alimony owed to her by the husband, as she can pay any money the husband owns under the Saudi enforcement system.

The wife’s rights after terminating the marriage contract with children.

The wife’s rights after termination of the marriage contract in the event of the presence of children do not differ from her rights in the event of the absence of children, except in matters related to the maintenance and custody of her children.

Custody of children is considered a fixed right for the wife, and she cannot be deprived of it under any circumstances except in accordance with what is stipulated in the Saudi Personal Status Law, such as an imbalance in one of the conditions of custody therein in accordance with what is stipulated in Article 125 and Article 126 of the Personal Status Law.

Such as marrying a man who is a foreigner to the children in her custody, or it is proven that she is infected with a contagious and dangerous disease, or it is proven that she is not trustworthy in raising these children, or as a result of being sentenced to a criminal penalty related to honor.

In addition to her entitlement to custody, she is entitled to the alimony owed to the children by their father, and she is also entitled to the necessary housing and shelter for her and them.
