Man Arrested in Cairo Over Taking Ex-Wife’s Car After She Waived Marital Property Claim

Egypt’s Interior Ministry said it had clarified the circumstances behind a social media post alleging that a man had stolen his former wife’s car in Cairo.

The post appeared on a personal account belonging to the woman’s father, who complained that someone had taken his daughter’s vehicle.

The man was arrested over taking the car without his ex-wife noticing, after she had waived her claim to items listed in their marital property inventory, known in Egypt as the “qaima.”

The information provided did not specify how the vehicle was taken or whether it had been recovered. It also gave no further details about the waiver or the legal proceedings against the man.
