Abstract

They represent human rights guarantees and their good application in reality, by analogy with the development of society and its advancement, and evidence of the extent of awareness in it. Respecting the rights of others and putting guarantees to protect them leads to a person’s feeling of his value, and thus this is a motive for work, creativity and development, and on the contrary, a person will be subject to frustrating psychological setbacks that affect not Only on him, but on the entire community, and the legislator in the United Arab Emirates has taken into account these rights in all laws issued and at all levels.  Referring to Islamic jurisprudence, we find that man has rights and guarantees that guarantee the implementation of these rights, and among these guarantees, but the most important of them are human rights guarantees within the family, represented by guarantees of the rights of the husband, wife, children and relatives. The importance of human rights guarantees comes within the family, as the family represents the first pillar of stability In society, if it is reformed, society is reconciled with it, and if it is corrupted, society is corrupted, and personal status laws regulate everything related to these rights and guarantees. Through the following points:1. Shedding light on the guarantees of the rights of the wife at the stage of concluding the marriage contract, starting with competence, guardianship, and the conditions associated with the marriage contract and the registration of the marriage contract. 2. Determining the guarantees of the rights of the wife with regard to the financial implications of the marriage contract, including dowry and alimony. 3. Continuing guarantees for women during the period of dissolution of the marriage contract by divorce and the consequent compensation for arbitrary divorce, and the role of family guidance in protecting the rights of spouses, especially the wife. 4.All of the above mentioned in points (3,2,1) will be discussed by analyzing the texts of the UAE Personal Status Law No. 28 of 2005, and a statement of the development of these guarantees through what the law has settled, or what amendments have been added to it during the past years Especially Federal Decree-Law No. 8 of 2019 and Federal Decree-Law No. 5 of 2020 and Federal Decree-Law No. 29 of 2020.
