Kuwait City: An Arab woman was divorced from her husband after paying only 23 Bahraini fils, which equaled her dowry, and gave up all of her other dower rights.


The woman married in her home country of Egypt, and her husband handed her one Egyptian pound as dowry, which is equivalent to 23 Bahrain fils. He moved her to Bahrain, but disagreements ensued, prompting her to petition for divorce with the High Shariat Court. She requested a divorce from the court, agreeing to refund the dowry and forgo her rights. 

"As a result," the judgement stated, "the court decided to approve the plaintiff's request in exchange for releasing the complete dowry listed in the marriage contract, equal to one Egyptian pound, as well as giving up all of her other rights."
