A man threatened to shoot his wife dead unless she left the country so that he did not have to pay her monthly alimony, an Abu Dhabi court has heard.
The woman from Saudi Arabia told the Abu Dhabi Criminal Court of First Instance that her ex-husband, an Emirati, had pointed a pistol to her head when he went to her house. He asked her to leave the country because she had asked him to pay her alimony and the children's expenses.
She told the judge that her ex-husband, who is also the father of her two children, had threatened to kill her and her brother who stayed with her in Baniyas.
The couple was married for six years before they divorced because of family disputes. Official court documents stated that after the couple separated, the woman left the UAE and went back to her home country with their children. During that period, the woman said the Emirati didn't provide financial support to their children.
When the woman heard that her ex-husband was preparing to marry another woman, she returned to the UAE to claim alimony and support for the children.
She also filed a case in this regard.
The defendant also pushed the woman and her brother, and forced them out of the house.
Prosecutors said that a passerby witnessed the incident and immediately notified the police, after which the defendant was arrested. The man denied the charge of threatening to kill his wife.
The trial was adjourned until March 5.
