Sheikha Mahra, wife of Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum, has publicly announced their divorce via social media.
She used the triple talaq method, an Islamic practice allowing a man to divorce his wife by repeating the word “divorce” three times.
In her Instagram post, she explained the separation by citing her husband’s infidelity, saying, “Dear Husband, as you are occupied with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce. I divorce you, I divorce you, and I divorce you.” She ended the message with, “Take care. Your ex-wife.”
This announcement has sparked discussions as triple talaq is traditionally a practice initiated by men.
Following the news, both Sheikha Mahra and Sheikh Mana have removed all images of each other from their Instagram profiles.
The couple, both from the UAE’s royal family, had a high-profile wedding in May 2023 and welcomed their daughter just a few months ago.
