The ex-wife of a Dubai royal, Princess Haya bint Al Hussein, has expressed fear of potential arrest as a custody battle with her former husband, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, escalates. The princess, who is the daughter of the late King Hussein of Jordan and half-sister of the current King Abdullah, fled to London with her two children in April 2019.
Princess Haya has requested a forced marriage protection order in a UK court, stating that she has “good reason to fear for her safety” if she returns to Dubai. She has also applied for custody of her children and for a non-molestation order against the Sheikh. The case is being heard in London, where the royal couple’s children currently reside. The princess has not disclosed the reasons for her fear of arrest in Dubai.
On the other hand, Sheikh Mohammed has applied for the summary return of his children to Dubai, arguing that Princess Haya’s legal action goes against a previous agreement concerning the children’s welfare. The Sheikh’s lawyers have called the princess’s applications unnecessary and inappropriate.
The escalating custody battle between Princess Haya and Sheikh Mohammed has drawn international attention, shedding light on the personal lives of the Dubai royal family. The case has also raised concerns about the treatment of women in the Gulf state and the power dynamics within the royal family.
Both parties are influential figures in the Middle East, with Princess Haya being known for her humanitarian work and Sheikh Mohammed being a prominent political figure and the ruler of Dubai. The outcome of the legal proceedings in London could have significant implications for the royal family and the wider region.
