Absolute women's rights

By virtue of my work in the field of law, I am often asked questions about women's rights after divorce, and the strange thing is that these questions come to me mostly from married women, which raises confusion and questions about women's lack of knowledge of their rights, when divorce occurs, especially since the majority of those who ask these questions have been married for a long time and throughout this period they did not have the knowledge and knowledge about their rights guaranteed by the Islamic Sharia, which granted divorced women many rights. The Federal Personal Status Law No. 28/2005 includes all the rights guaranteed by Islamic law to divorced women.

A woman divorced from a retroactive divorce is the one whom the husband may return to his infallibility, during her waiting period without her consent or a new contract or dowry, so she is ruled by the wife's ruling, she has all the rights enjoyed by the wife, so that she inherits if her husband dies during her waiting period, and she deserves the obligation prescribed by the Sharia for the wife upon the death of the husband. In addition, the divorced woman is entitled to the dowry if the husband is due to pay it and remains in his possession until the divorce occurs, as it is customary for the husband to pay half of the dowry at the time of the marriage contract and postpone the other half to become recently, and the divorced woman is also entitled to a pleasure alimony if her husband divorces her without her request, or for a reason due to her, and these rights are determined by Islamic law, whether she has children or not. However, if the divorced woman has children, she is more entitled to custody of the children until the male reaches 11 years and the female reaches 13 years, but custody does not automatically end when the children reach the age of custody established by law, since the court has the discretion to extend the period of custody until the male son reaches or the female marries. However, the provision of a nursery home is conditional on the divorced woman not having a home that she owns or is allocated to her, and the husband is obligated to pay a nursery fee to the divorced woman in appreciation of the service she performs for the children. The husband shall be absolved of his financial rights.
