LONDON (Reuters) - The wife of Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, Jordanian Princess Haya, has applied a “non-molestation order” and a “forced marriage protection order” in an English court, according to court documents.
Princess Haya bint al-Hussein, the 45-year-old daughter of late King Hussein and half-sister to King Abdullah, also applied for wardship of the children.
She applied for a “non-molestation order,” which protects from harassment or threats, and “a forced marriage protection order,” according to court documents.
A forced marriage protection order helps if someone says they have been forced into marriage or already in a forced marriage, according to official British legal definitions. It was not immediately clear who the orders related to.
A spokeswoman for the United Arab Emirates did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
A Sri Lankan man was apprehended at Suvarnabhumi airport for attempting to smuggle wildlife out of the country after three ball pythons were found hidden in his underwear, the Bangkok post reported.
