3 متاح 3 • عرض الجميعصاحب العمل لا يمنح العاملة المنزلية عطلة. فما الذي يجب القيام به؟

س: سيدي العزيز / سيدتي العزيزة،
أنا مربية أطفال هنا في دبي. أنا أعمل لدى صاحب العمل مواطن منذ ما يقرب من 8 أشهر. صاحب العمل لا يمنحني يوم عطلة.
يحتفظون بجواز سفري ولم يعطوني نسخة من عقد العمل الخاص بي. في بعض الأحيان يختلقون قصة، وهي غير صحيحة، بأنني أخذت شيئًا منهم. الآن، ما هي الخطوة التي يجب أن أقوم بها؟
أريد أن أغادر وأبحث عن عمل آخر. إنهم يهددونني بأنني إذا توقفت عن العمل معهم، فسوف يرفعون قضية ضدي وسيقومون بترحيلي، وسأدفع 15 ألفًا مقابل تكلفة التأشيرة ووثائق العمل الأخرى.
آمل أن ينصحني أحد.
شكرًا لك.

Can the employer force the housmaid to work for unlimited hours without rest?



0
Q: Hi
I'm a nanny, and at the same time, I work as a housemaid (khadama) here in the house. I work, but as I know, the nannies and housemaids have different rights, and my employer doesn't give me rest.
My work starts at 7:30 am and then finishes at 10 pm or less. It depends on whether the baby is asleep or what time they will take on me if not yet asleep. Is this right?
Also, at the time of eating, I'm still working because the baby is with me, so I just let her sit in her chair. That's how I eat.
Please answer me. I want to know my rights.
Because if I can leave during the 6-month probation, I want to take it if the employer is this kind. I don't know.
They are also expats, but they don't follow the rules of the UAE regarding a housemaid.

My brother had a case and cleared it but still have a trave ban. What to do to guarantee him? 0
Hi,
My brother had a case, and he cleared it by settling all the dues in court and got the clearance paper as well.
However, a travel ban seems to exist now because of a small amendment that has to be made on his end.
In the meantime, he has to travel back home for a week for an emergency.
What can I do to lift the travel ban temporarily if I want to be the guarantor?
How to file the application for this?
Should the debtor also authorise this application even though his dues are paid, but only an amendment to their trade license is not initiated at this point, based on the actual judgement?

When can I expect the court of execution to pay my labor dues after winning the case for training cost? 0
I recently won my case at MOHRE regarding the AED 6,000 training cost, which the company was not entitled to.
I have now filed an execution request at Al Adheed on July 4, 2025, to claim my pending salary and visa cancellation, which were not provided within the legal 14-day period.
As I do not have an Emirates ID yet, the report was submitted using my passport. I was informed I would receive a court fee payment link if the process pushes through.
May I kindly ask:
Will the execution proceed using my passport?
How long does this process usually take?
What should I expect next?
Thank you for your assistance.

Facing mental and financial harassment from my husband. What can I do? 0
Hello,
My husband is mentally harassing me for my salary. He wants my full salary and savings. He knows I am an epilepsy patient, so proper sleep is very important for me.
Still, he fights with me all night. He just wants my salary. Last year, I left him and went back to India, but after a few months, he came to me and assured me he wouldn't misbehave with me.
But now he has again started fighting with me all the time for my salary. According to him, my salary is his asset because after marriage, I came to Dubai.
Please help me and suggest.

I posted a review for a piercing shop, and they threatened me to file a defamation case against me. What to do? 0
I recently posted a review for a piercing shop, and they threatened to file a defamation case against me. I didn't get it first. Their customer service was rude, and when I posted a review about it, they said they would file a complaint.
I basically said I gave them one star, and I said whenever I have gone to their Instagram page to ask questions, they have been rude to me.
Probably they don't want to answer or they are irritated by my questions for improving their customer service, especially for their clients who paid you for piercings!
This is my review. I want to ask, is this illegal and considered defamation?
Don't I have a right to post reviews?

What can you do if the bank filed a case against despite paying the loan by insurance after losing job? 0
Hello Sir,
My friend had a large personal loan and paid installments for 1.5 years before losing his job.
A criminal case was filed in 2019, but he was cleared with a fine as the judge accepted that job loss insurance covered the loan. Funds were credited (shown in the statement & SMS), and customer service confirmed twice that the loan was cleared.
He also paid AED 10K+ interest for the insurance. A year later, a cheque case was filed by a debt company and bank—he won with the same documents. Now, in Jan 2025, the bank filed a commercial case.
The court appointed an expert, but the expert ignored his evidence. he showed that a key page of the contract (stating job loss insurance) was missing from the bank’s submission.
The bank told the expert the credited amount was a “loan write-off,” but gave no proof. The expert never investigated his findings.
I need advice on whether this verdict can be appealed and whether it’s worth pursuing further. My friend is in India now

How to get legal help with drafting a memo for a family case in cassation? 0
I need help drafting a cassation memo for submission to the Abu Dhabi Court in a family case. I already have all the documents.
Since there's no hearing at this stage, I don’t need full legal representation—just memo drafting. My ex-wife is claiming 2024–25 school fees, though child support is already granted.
First instance rejected her claim, but the appeal overturned it and ordered me to pay 16,000 AED.
I want to file a cassation due to legal errors and flawed reasoning in the appeal judgment. My budget is limited.
