A 22-years old Syrian woman has recently inherited SR 80 million after her aged Saudi husband died within 2 weeks of marriage. It doesn’t end there as the woman also inherited a villa along with the monetary sum.
The Hidden Marriage
The wealthy-aged Saudi businessman tied the knot with the 22-year-old Syrian woman 2 weeks before his death without informing his family members.
After 2 weeks, he died of a heart attack when he was at the house of his new young bride.
Family Reaction
After the death of the businessman, his family straight out refused to even recognize the marriage, as none of them had either witnessed it or heard about it.
This caused the newlywed bride to lodge a formal case to claim inheritance in her deceased husband’s property.
The legal case
The lawyer of the bride produced strong evidence which clearly proved that a marriage had taken place between the Saudi man and the young woman.
The lawyer also proceeded to call the friend and brother of the deceased businessman to testify before the court that they were the witnesses to the wedding which is not being recognized by the family of the deceased.
Networth of the deceased
According to the last judgment, the number of heirs reached 10 boys and girls, in addition to his Saudi wife. The businessman’s fortune is close to more than SR 700 million.
She asked for only 300,000
The widow asked for a settlement of only SR 300,000 to waive off her rights and take the case back from the court. However, the legal heirs of the deceased man were not ready for any settlement so the case continued in the court.
The Verdict
The Jeddah court issued its verdict in the favor of the 22-years-old widow and finally, she got SR 80 million in inheritance from the family. She was his legally married wife and was entitled to every right a wife has.
