Court orders man to give ex-wife 2kg gold

A Saudi court has ordered a school teacher to give his exwife 2kg of gold after he failed to fulfil his promise to win her back after marital disputes that led them to get divorced.

The teacher undertook to give his wife 1,802 grams of gold following a dispute to keep her. But their family problems continued to worsen and their marital relationship ended in divorce. The woman filed a case seeking divorce and claiming the promised gold, which is worth around 500,000 riyals. She provided the court with the written undertaking.

The court granted the divorce, and ordered the man to give her the gold. He was also fined 500 riyals for each day of delay.
