In Sharjah, a husband has filed for divorce from his wife on the grounds of her alleged involvement in sorcery and jinn practices, which allegedly negatively impacted their marriage and their two children. The Sharjah Sharia Court of First Instance granted the divorce and awarded custody of the children to the father. The husband testified that his wife and her family practiced sorcery, citing a previous statement from his wife where she mentioned that her maternal uncle treated her with the help of a jinn named "Hamroush."
He further alleged that their children had experienced negative effects such as bed-wetting, nail-biting, teeth grinding while asleep, and fear of the dark. The court reviewed the evidence, taking into account the best interests of the children, and found that the mother's alleged involvement in sorcery and its impact on the children made it unsuitable for her to retain custody.
