Dubai princess Sheikha Mahra's latest photo after divorce. What does it show?

The Dubai princess Sheikha Mahra bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum recently posted a new picture of herself and her 2-month-old daughter on Instagram, just after she made it public that she was seeking a divorce. Sheikha Mahra is seen in the picture looking at a painting of a white horse with her infant. She used just a white heart emoji as the only caption for the post, as per the reports of The Mirror.

The 30-year-old princess is the daughter of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the prime minister and vice president of the United Arab Emirates in addition to being the ruler of Dubai. Grigorakos Zoe is her mother. The announcement of the divorce created quite a chaos, particularly because it was made public on social media.

Public declaration of divorce

Sheikha Mahra declared on Instagram that she was divorcing her spouse, Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum. She said in her post that she was divorcing her husband because he was too focused on other people. She stated, "I divorce you," three times to highlight the point, which has important theological ramifications.


The triplet "I divorce you" in her letter alludes to the Islamic custom of "triple talaq." By reciting talaq, which translates to "divorce" in Arabic three times, a Muslim man can legally divorce his wife. There is no need for a rationale or the wife's approval for this divorce procedure. It is noteworthy, however, that a number of nations have outlawed this practice, and IslamQA asserts that women are not entitled to invoke talaq against their husbands.

Sheikha Mahra and her spouse appeared to have unfollowed one another on social media after the July 16 Instagram statement. They deleted each other's earlier posts from their accounts as well. Sheikh Mana has not yet reacted or replied to the divorce news in public.
