Thwarted brides turn to the courts in UAE
Conflict
The conflict is about Emirati women who their parents don't allow them to marry a specific man and not giving a reason for the refusal, which leads the women to court to get married. On the other hand courts don't allow the women to get married immediately until they investigate and take all actions with the guardians and the suitor.
World-views
There are two world-views which are represented in this conflict, which are honor-shame and power-fear. Firstly, if the family refused the man that proposed to their daughter they should have a reason for refusing and i think that the women should have the right to choose. On the other hand power- fear is a big part of this as the parents can control the daughter just like that, even if there is no reason. Secondly, honor-shame is what the parents think of, for instance the father first thinks about the ancestry and tribalism which is something the women won't mind about, this is honor-shame view of the parents.
