“It is a very good rate considering the complicated nature of the family cases and the rigid stance of both parties. The reconciliation rate was 46.7 per cent in the same period last year,” Mohammed Rustom Bu Abdullah, head of the Family and Juvenile Prosecution, said.
As many as 119 family cases have been handled by the Family Prosecution so far this year, Mohammed Rustom Bu Abdullah, head of the Family and Juvenile Prosecution, said.
The prosecution succeeded in settling 113 cases in the same period last year and 107 cases in 2010. According to Bu Abdullah, the majority of the family cases were about insults and showing disrespect to one another.
“Many unusual cases have been investigated by the Family Prosecution like a case of insult between a couple in their sixties. Many efforts of reconciliation failed between the two.
However, one last attempt was made for amicable settlement before their case was referred to the court and it succeeded,” Bu Abdullah said.
“The two have many differences which reached the Personal Status Court. We have been eventually able to convince them that the reconciliation was for their good and that it would not be in their best interest for their case to go to the criminal court. They understood that it would add to their problems considering that they have many children and grandchildren, which would complicate the situation.”
In a similar case, the Family Prosecution investigated an accusation that a man in his sixties insulted his wife who was his ten years his junior. Sustained efforts made by the prosecution paid off in the end.
“The Public Prosecution has been keen to raise public awareness by publishing reports about crimes and their consequences using the latest technology. It also seeks to advise family members on the need to be patient and solve the minor problems amicably so that they would not get worse.”
Bu Abdullah stressed that the Family and Juvenile Prosecution members and staff have been engaged in educational and awareness programmes to advise couples about the causes of problems and crimes within the family.
