How the UAE has been lowering its divorce rates
Amended UAE family law measures help divorce rates decline. An almost 20 per cent drop in divorces in the northern emirates may stem from family law changes.
While divorce rates are increasing in most parts of the world, the UAE’s northern emirates have continued a trajectory of decreasing divorce rates – in 2020 registering a 17.9 per cent drop in numbers of divorces filed for. I explain to The National newspaper that family law changes intended to stabilize the family unit appeared to be having an effect. A new burden of proof necessitates a spouse provides evidence of harm suffered in a relationship if this is the ground for divorce claimed, and this appears to have helped bring divorce cases down, I’m quoted as saying.
