She divorced her husband in an Instagram post on Tuesday:
“Dear Husband, as you are occupied with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce. I divorce you, I divorce you, and I Divorce You. Take care. Your ex-wife.”
A Reddit.com user wrote: “Women can divorce men using the three verbal divorce system if they included it in their marriage contract.”

Sheikh Mohammed’s senior wife is Sheikha Hind bint Maktoum. He has 16 children by his multiple wives.
In 1995, Sheikh Mohammed became the crown prince of Dubai. He transformed a patch of desert into a lavish destination for the rich and famous.
Sheikh Mohammed became prime minister and vice president of the United Arab Emirates in 2006. He developed the Palm Islands, and luxury skyscrapers, including The Burj Khalifa, the tallest skyscraper in Dubai.
