公开挑战阿联酋男权，迪拜公主连发三遍“离婚”休夫（讲解版）｜E0725

▍原文

The daughter of Dubai's ruler announced her intention to divorce in a brutal Instagram post — railing against the emirate's gender norms and royal protocol.

The princess, Sheikha Mahra, referenced the controversial practice of triple talaq, which allows a Muslim man to divorce his wife by saying the Arabic word three times. 

While it is unclear if Mahra will face repercussions, Emirati princesses who stood up to their male "guardians" have faced brutal consequences in the past.
