Yes, Qatar's Family Law provides specific protections around dowry and gifts in the event of an engagement being cancelled. Under Article 7, any money paid as part of a dowry is redeemable if either party decides to terminate the engagement. This applies regardless of which party ends it.
Regarding gifts exchanged during the engagement, Article 8 states that if the engagement is cancelled without justification, gifts should be returned in kind if they still exist. If the gifts no longer exist, their equivalent value at the time they were received must be paid — but this obligation applies to the party who terminated the engagement without a valid reason. If both parties share fault, or if there is a legitimate justification for ending the engagement, the court may apportion responsibility differently.
It is important to note that under Article 5, an engagement is simply a promise to marry and does not create any of the legal consequences of an actual marriage. If you are in an engagement dispute, document all gifts and payments made, and seek legal advice to understand your rights before approaching the courts, as outcomes can depend heavily on the specific facts of each case.
