Hello i am a female moroccan resident who would...

We would like to inform you that according to the Qatari family law, if you are resident and want to file divorce due to harm and there is a reason and you can prove that there is harm by your husband and you can’t continue the marriage, then you will get the divorce. Otherwise, if you couldn’t prove the harm and you still separated from your husband and the reconciliation failed , then the judge will determine two persons from your families to reconcile and determine a period for that.

Moreover, The arbitrators shall seek the causes of marital breaches and attempt to reconcile the couple.

The arbitrators shall make a report to the Judge of their attempts and state to what extent each of the spouses has contributed to the breaches together with their opinion. The Judge may adopt the report of the two arbitrators if it complies with the provisions of the preceding Article, otherwise he shall appoint other arbitrators by a substantiated decision to start reconciliation afresh, or add a third arbitrator to join the existing two arbitrators.The Judge may decree separation based on the two arbitrators' report in cases where reconciliation cannot be achieved and breaches continue between the spouses. If the two arbitrators do not make their report and differences between the spouses are intensifying, he shall decree their separation. If the Judge is of the opinion that the separation of the spouses should be decreed and that the wife is largely or wholly to blame, he shall separate between them with money to be given by the wife as determined by the judge after checking the two arbitrators' report. However, if the husband is largely or wholly blamed, or both are blamed or it is unknown, then they will be separated between them without money.

In regard to custody, The custody of women is terminated at the age of thirteen years for males and for the female fifteen years, unless the court sees an extension of this age for the sake of the child until the male reaches the age of puppetry or the female gets married.
