According to a local newspaper, a Saudi woman was awarded undisclosed compensation after her husband divorced her without registering it in two weeks.
She filed a lawsuit with the court accusing her ex-husband of divorcing her without documentation while she was staying at her father's house, Okaz said.
As a result, the Personal Status Court ruled in favor of the woman and ordered her ex-husband to pay her a financial compensation in line with her spending during their marriage.
The ruling was based on article No 91 of the personal status law that obligates the man, when he divorces his wife without her knowledge and fails to register the divorce, to compensate her for the amount spent from the date of the divorce until the date when she learns of it.
It was not stated when and where the case was heard or how much compensation was awarded in the report.
