Dubai Wife Sues Husband For $12M For Depriving Her Of Conjugal Rights - Dubai - Middle East - law - UAE

An Emirati man was being sued for 45 million dirhams ($12.25 million) for not having sex with his wife, who claimed that his failure to perform caused her mental anguish, a court heard.

The unidentified woman said her husband did not sleep with her during the first four months of their marriage in 2008 and that she later discovered he suffered from erectile dysfunction, Gulf News reported Wednesday.

Court records filed by the woman allege that her husband, who she is now divorced from, failed to fulfil her needs.

"Considering the conservative Arab values and the woman's situation in such a society, I remained silent and tried to adapt [by] praying to God that things would improve," she said.
