Ex-wife escapes liability for luxury car payment controversy in Dubai court, dismissed from Dh274,000 claim by ex-husband.

In a recent court ruling in Dubai, a man has lost a civil case against his ex-wife regarding the use of a luxury four-wheel-drive vehicle following their divorce. The car, registered in the man's name and with monthly instalments exceeding Dh9,000, was allegedly used by the ex-wife for 27 months after their separation.

The court's ruling stated that no wrongful act had been proven against the ex-wife. The man had sought Dh274,000 in compensation from his ex-wife, claiming that she was obligated to return the car earlier. However, the judges noted that the man offered no evidence to support this claim.

WhatsApp messages indicated that the man had given the car as a gift, a point he did not dispute. The ex-wife, on the other hand, claimed that she used the vehicle for their child's transport and returned it once ordered to do so. She also produced proof of marriage and divorce, the return order, and receipts showing she had paid traffic fines on the car.

The man submitted documents such as registration, divorce papers, and a Sharia court order requiring the car to be returned. Despite this, the court dismissed the compensation claim and ordered the man to pay court costs.

The court also emphasised that liability for damages under UAE law requires proof of fault, harm, and causation. The man, who was the buyer in the used car case, won a small claim but lost the main part of the lawsuit, resulting in him having to pay the seller's attorney fees and all court costs because he lost over 97% of the case.
