The Personal Status Court in Dubai ordered the implementation of a request to hand over a three-year-old (Asian) child to his mother, after his father deprived him of her, and fled his country, coming on a visit to the UAE, despite the mother's obtaining an effective ruling from her country against her right to custody of him.

In the same context, Dubai courts ordered the arrest and bringing of the child's father, and a decision was issued to prevent them from traveling, while Dubai Police responded immediately, and implemented the court's decision, to reunite the child with his mother after three months of depriving her of it, in a humanitarian scene.

The mother's legal representative, lawyer Ali Khalaf al-Hosani, said that the child was the victim of a bitter and long personal dispute between his mother and father, which ended with their divorce and the issuance of a ruling by the competent court in their country against her right to custody.

He added that the father did not abide by the court's ruling, and ignored the mother, and fled the child from his country coming to the UAE, leaving her in a deplorable humanitarian condition, in light of the fact that the child did not exceed three years of age, and needs her care, which prompted her to resort again to the judiciary in her country, and to obtain a ruling to extradite her child immediately.

He pointed out that the mother was able to determine the destination of the father and her child, and learned that they settled in the Emirate of Dubai, so she came to the country, and resorted to the legal path, based on the legal and judicial assistance agreement signed between the UAE and her country, pointing out that he submitted an electronic application in her name to the Personal Status Court, to implement the judgment issued in her favor in her country.

After considering the papers and the translated verdict, the court immediately agreed to implement the verdict, and to quickly hand over the child to his mother, and to avoid repeating the same behavior by the father, a decision was issued to prevent him and the child from traveling, as well as a decision from the Dubai courts to arrest and bring him to oblige him to execute the extradition judgment.

Al Hosani added that the mother resorted directly to the Dubai Police to implement the court's decision, in light of her fears that the father would run away with her son again, stressing that the Dubai Police spared no effort in responding to the event, and rushed to arrest the father and oblige him to hand over the child to his mother after three months of suffering and the continuous search for her son everywhere.

Al Hosani said that children usually pay the price of family disputes, which sometimes turn into extreme rivalry, pointing out that the father does not have residence or work in the country, but his stubbornness has reached the point of leaving his country to deprive his divorced child as a matter of abuse, pointing out that the state's response represented by Dubai courts and police comes within the framework of its well-established strategy in providing psychological and social protection for children.
