A Dubai Princess, Sheikha Mahra bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, appears to have asked her husband for a divorce via Instagram.
On Wednesday, July 17, Sheikha Mahra bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum — the daughter of the current ruler of Dubai — shared a post on her verified Instagram account that said “Dear Husband, As you are occupied with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce.”
“I divorce you, I divorce you, and I divorce you,” Sheikha Mahra, 30, added, seemingly referencing the Islamic practice known as triple talaq, which allows husbands to divorce their wives by saying “I divorce you” three times, according to the BBC. “Take care. Your ex-wife,” Sheikha Mahra concluded her post.
The post comes just over a year after she reportedly tied the knot with her partner Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum.
Sheikha Mahra is the daughter of Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, 75, who is also vice president and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
