The ex-wife of Dubai royal Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Princess Haya bint al-Hussein, has expressed fears of arrest as their custody battle over their two children escalates. Princess Haya fled to London with her children in 2019 seeking a divorce and claiming she was in fear for her life. Sheikh Mohammed, on the other hand, has taken the case to the High Court in London, seeking the return of his children to Dubai.
Princess Haya’s legal team has stated that she is worried she might be abducted by the sheikh’s forces and forcibly taken back to Dubai if she returns. They accuse Sheikh Mohammed of intimidating and threatening her, allegations he denies. Meanwhile, Sheikh Mohammed’s representatives argue that Princess Haya’s allegations are false and part of a calculated strategy to secure a more favorable outcome in the custody battle.
The case has drawn international attention and highlighted the issue of women’s rights in Dubai. Princess Haya’s supporters see her as a courageous figure standing up against an abusive ex-husband, while Sheikh Mohammed’s supporters believe he is being unfairly targeted in a private family matter.
The custody battle is still ongoing, with both parties presenting their arguments in court. The outcome of the case will have significant implications not only for the royal family but also for the broader conversation around women’s rights and legal protections in Dubai.
