If a problem happens btwn a married couple and they need some time apart; who should leave the house and who should stay with the kids?

If they get divorced then who should get the house? I've heard that there is a new law here in Oman that the woman gets the house if a divorce occurs.

Normally if something goes wrong the wife heads to her family house with the kids. Thats what i can see here in oman.

Concerning the house, wouldn't it belong to the owner of the house from the beginning? Be it the husband or the wife?
Never heared of the law you are talking about!

The owner (the person who paid off the house) should keep the house. Out of humbleness or whatever-ness, the owner might chose to let the other person have the house, but that's a different matter.

If both need some time off, I suggest the guy takes off for a while. Its easier for a guy to book himself into a hotel/motel etc rather than let the lady go out, unless her relatives or good friends live nearby. Divorce is a totally different deal ..

The one who stays with the children should keep.

I agree with amo.. and it's usually the mother who keeps the kids.

If there are no kids involved, then I guess the woman usually goes to her family.

Running away from your problems is pointless. You should work them out, not just up and leave.

The husband should leave the house...

The wife should keep the kids.

Eveything else they should work out together.

I've heard of this law too but i dont know if its already been practiced, other arab muslim countries are already implementing this law , which is very Good .

I think the man should leave the house for the sake of his kids bcoz definitly kids would wanna stay with their mom.

I hate all this leaving the house or running away business..and its always best to just face the problem and deal with it. there could always be an extra room in case the couple fought and so one of them could just move to that room till things get better.

anyways.. I think its the man who should leave the house but in most cases in the arab world..its the woman who packs and leaves to her parents place which i think is so wrong. when it comes to divorce.. surely the woman should get it.. especially if the kids would wanna stay with her.

A woman should never leave her house under any circumstances. If anyone has to leave the house it should be the husband. Let him go stay with friends, family or even a hotel. A man who allows his wife to leave the house while staying in it himself isn't worth the clothes he's wearing.

By the way, regarding who owns the house, if the man really loved his wife, and if he had half a brain, he's have written the house in her name from the begining. I just can't understand men who don't put ownership of their houses in their wives names. It makes sense in all aspects for the wife to own the house.

Totally agree with Muscati.

But that's not what happens here. It's usually the woman who leaves the house and goes to her parents until her husband comes and gets her.

About the house. Well he should leave the house to his wife and children if there's a divorce. That's his duty towards his kids and to the woman who lived with him and raised his children, it doesnt' need a law for him to do so.

What….u kidding….

If the case come to the worst and ther no further solution to bring them back ..the house remains and ‘ should remain’ to the owner…cus he is the one who spent most of effort, sweated to create that house….

So if the husband is owner… sorry…she has to leave …back to her family home...but he has to pay her whatever she is entitled to what so called ‘ Nafaqa’ ..

if she has the ownership...she can kick his a.ss and he has to pay the ' Nafaqa'..too.... :bang:

see how lucky our women r..... :D

I'm not kidding, it's sad that people live their lives as if a divorce is always an acceptable outcome of a marriage. Think of the longer term than that. What if the man dies, regardless whether prematurely or of old age. Why must the woman remain in limbo until the kids decide that they'll keep the house to their mother.

And in these days when business is bad, do u know that if you have a business and it goes bust you might be liable with all that you own. If the house you live in is in your name the bank might ask the court to sell it to repay your debt. I can think of more reasons why a family house should be registered in the wife's name than why it should be in the husband's.

:app: :app:

I always believed (albait , bait al7urma ) and thats how i see it in my family.

totally agree with that ..

By the way why we always assume the man die first… :( .specially when we don’t have war in Oman, except for car accidents war.

Sorry. but now u bringing more serious problem to cover existing problem… if the guy has debts after his death, for case of bank the depts will automatically cancelled as they insured already..for others debts ..it has to be taken from his inherit and the house will be counted as part of it. He can’t just escape by putting his house to his wife name….!! in fact , his wife should advice him on financial side and not let him just play with money as he wants….

On other hand, now let me do my “ if’ as well..

If the guy put the house name to his wife.. and just die (again we kill the guy miskeen :p ),

Now the kids r not entitled to their inherit from the father, cus their father simply sold the house, to their mother… after few days of ‘al3eda’ the wife got married to another man . :mad: .by then kids rights start to be eliminated .. and the case will be more sophisticated because of the entry of this second husband… and who guarantee that they not gonna to throw the kids out just because new kids coming from the second marriage and so on..

I kinda agree with the brain .. whoever paid for the house, keeps the house. Its simply his right. If he choses to give the house as a gift, its his own wish.
If they paid for the house togther .. the house should be written in both thier names.

Incase any of them die (see we are not killing the man) the person's inheritors get thier share and the other person gets what he paid for!!
Its 7uqoq (rights) and everyone should get what they are entitled for and not get extra coz he is a man or because she is a woman.

Thanx for lawyer AP..for explanation as for not killing the man again. :D
