A husband has filed a lawsuit against his wife for assault and expulsion from their home, along with her mother, in Imbaba, Egypt, before the Family Court. He claimed that he was abused by his wife, who pursued him with threatening messages, beat him with an electrical wire, and inflicted serious injuries while exploiting his poor health. He alleged that both women attacked him to punish him for refusing to spend his monthly salary and the money he earns from his own shop on his mother-in-law, according to the reports and documents he submitted that validate his accusations against his wife.
The plaintiff stated: "From the early months, my mother-in-law has stayed in my house and refuses to leave, taking my salary and the profits from my shop under the pretense of being worried about her daughter's future. She treats me poorly, insults me in front of my wife, and accuses me of irresponsibility if I lend my family some money."
The husband added: "I tried to resolve the disputes amicably, but due to my mother-in-law inciting my wife against me, she expelled me from the house and withheld financial amounts meant for me. In the end, they severely assaulted me, unleashing their anger and violence upon me, and my mother-in-law demanded that I relinquish my shop to her daughter and pay them a sum of money."
He continued: "My wife threatened me with divorce and taking all her dues, exploiting my obligation to sign checks amounting to one million Egyptian pounds. After that, her violence against me increased, besides her attempts to make me give up my apartment, claiming she wanted to secure herself."
It is noted that the personal status law sets several conditions for accepting a lawsuit for imprisonment against a husband, including that the ruling must be issued in a matter related to alimonies or wages, and that the ruling must be final, whether on appeal or after the appeal periods have expired. The defendant must refuse to comply with the judgment after being properly informed of the final ruling. Additionally, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant is capable of paying what has been ruled, using all methods of evidence, and the court will require the liable party for alimonies to be present or notified of the payment order if absent, after proving to the court the obligation to perform the act.
