Another percentage does not mean the inability to reconcile, but rather a lack of reconciliation, lack of attendance, lack of communication and lack of competence as well, pointing out that the inability to come to the office is what we suffer most from, as some have the final intention and determination to divorce and file lawsuits, but we are working hard to attract lawsuits We invite the litigating parties to sit with our consultants, listen to them, and seek reconciliation.
Counseling is a cause for reconciliation, and he pointed out that counseling is a cause for reconciliation and filing lawsuits, which is met with denunciation by the wife or husband, each objecting to the other because of filing a lawsuit against the other, and the percentage of reconciliation here is less than in the case of resorting to the Family Reconciliation Office directly without resorting to filing lawsuits Which may give a higher rate of reconciliation than others, so we recommend that you refer to the Family Reconciliation Office before things get worse between the spouses.

The groups that the office receives and with regard to most of the marital age groups that frequent the office and decide to divorce, Al-Buainain explained that the majority of the age groups that frequent the office are between the ages of 20 to 30 years, and the reasons are usually due to the lack of a culture of dialogue between the spouses and the failure to alimony and other things. The aforementioned other reasons, calling for the existence of rehabilitative awareness programs for young people who are about to get married or who are married to reduce the issue of divorce, and inform them of the consequences of divorce and its effects on the individual and society. Coordinating interviews and about the mechanism of the office’s work in communicating with the conflicting parties and coordinating interviews between them, he confirmed that the office is working hard to coordinate interviews and provide counseling to the spouses, and this is done through three stages. The first is filing the case by one of the spouses, and then the case is transferred to us in the office, In the light of this case, dates are set for the two parties and for our attendance at the first court session, and then it is implemented either by conciliation, settlement or non-conciliation, in which a report is submitted to the judge not to reconcile, and the second stage is for the husband wishing to divorce, he must enter the national documentation portal and enter the "Create a divorce" And he fills in the fields such as his name and the name of the wife, and after that the matter turns into documentation, which in turn transfers the matter to us, and we communicate with them and summon them and strive to do the necessary and reconcile between the spouses, and the process of summoning is through the hotline and communication between the spouses and setting a date to meet with them, and then they receive a text message on their phone numbers with the date, day and time to come to the appointed appointment. The intervention of the family The director of the Office of Family Reconciliation believes that the intervention of the family is one of the reasons for divorce and the separation of the spouses, as the spouses must not allow the family to interfere with each other, sending a message to the husband and wife to improve the relationship with the mother and sisters of the husband and to form friendship with them and get close to him, and vice versa as the husband should The husband also improves the relationship with the wife’s family and gets close to them, stressing that the presence of children between the spouses makes the Family Reconciliation Office work hard to reconcile between the spouses and look at the children in order to preserve the formation of the family, and we teach the spouses the seriousness of the consequences after divorce in the event of the presence of children, and a lot In some cases, after the divorce, the dispersal of the children, and the separation of the husband from the wife for several months, they return again to ask for a return. Therefore, we recommend that the divorce be the last stage, especially in the event that there are children. Future projects With regard to the future plans and projects of the office, Ahmed Al-Buainain said: We are working today to build bridges of cooperation with local universities and institutes, where 6 female students from the Doha Institute for Studies were trained in the field, as well as joint cooperation with the Doha Institute for Studies, in addition to providing studies at the Ibn Khaldun Center At Qatar University, in cooperation with the university, hoping that the office will be able to provide lectures on marriage and educate students in universities and schools, as well as we look forward to having an office in the Public Prosecution as well.
