London: Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai will have to pay $ 730 million or about Rs 5500 crore in the case of child custody. The High Court of London has given this decision in the ongoing trial with Haya bint al-Hussein, Sheikh’s ex-wife. This decision is being seen as a big victory for Haya. Haya seems to be the sister of King Abdullah of Jordan in the relationship. The court has taken this decision and has taken in view of the safety of both their children for life.
Judge Philip Moore has said that given the grave danger to the lives of Haya and the two children, this price will have to be paid. This danger has been told from Sheikh himself. The judge said- ‘She is not asking for any amount for herself. She is only asking for the price of her security. At the same time, she is demanding compensation for the loss she has suffered due to the breakdown of the marriage.
The amount will be paid in many ways
The court has directed Sheikh to pay £251 million to Haya within three months so that she can take care of her British bungalow. Sheikh was also asked to pay £9.6 million in instalments for the education of the two children, Jalila (14) and Zayed (9). Apart from this, an amount of 11.2 million pounds has been asked to be given every year for the care of children. This amount will continue to be paid till both these children attain the age of majority.
What Sheikh’s wife said in court
For this entire money, an amount of £ 290 million will remain in HSBC Bank as a guarantee. Let us tell you that in Britain, this amount is being said to be the biggest compensation amount in the family case so far. But still, it is much less than the amount demanded by Haya. Haya had demanded 1.4 billion pounds. Haya said in the court- ‘I really want to free my children from Sheikh’s influence.’
