Dubai Court Dismisses Lawsuit Over Apartment Gift to Ex-Wife

A Dubai court has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a man seeking to revoke a residential apartment he had gifted to his ex-wife, ruling that the transfer remains legally valid. The court said the property had been formally transferred and registered in the ex-wife’s name during the marriage, making the gift binding under UAE law. This decision highlights the importance of proper legal documentation for property transfers in the UAE. The plaintiff argued the transfer was made under duress, but the court found no evidence to support this claim.
