Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The study is about the compensation known as "mut'ah" for divorced women. This compensation is a legal right for the divorced woman and is a legal effect of the divorce. It has been legislated to protect her from harm, boost her morale after the separation from her husband, and dispel any suspicions about her. It is a legal and jurisprudential way to compensate the woman and lessen the material and emotional damages caused by the divorce. Despite its importance, many women and men are unaware of mut'ah and its regulations. Therefore, this study aims to clarify the jurisprudential rulings for compensating divorced women, evaluating it compared to the Omani Personal Status Law. It also aims to explain how this compensation is estimated and compares it with the practices in Omani Sharia courts to familiarize the reader with the jurisprudential rulings and the legal and judicial reality.
