Can a non-Muslim convert to Islam and marry a Muslim man without her Wali?

Q: Hello. A non-Muslim girl wants to come to the UAE, convert to Islam, and get married to a Muslim expat of her nationality in the UAE. Her father knows and approves the marriage but they do not know about her plan to convert to Islam. She did not inform them because of the fear of being persecuted. In this case, can the marriage happen without her Wali? If not, what other option does she have?

Can I proceed with my investment case without paying the court fee upfront?

Q: Dear Lawyers, The judge has again rejected our second request to delay the court fees. Our lawyer has advised that we can proceed with the re-registration of the case as soon as the court fee payment is received from your end. The court fee is 21k, which I am unable to pay. Is there any option to request paying the fee after the case is won? This case involves a 400k investment where I didn’t get my money back or any profit. I went to court for legal action and have already paid 14k to the law firm, but now I am unable to pay further. I don’t know what to do. Please advise!

Can a black-and-white trademark registration provide protection for all color variations of a logo?

Q: We are currently reviewing trademark registration strategies for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and seeking expert confirmation on a specific matter. It is generally understood that registering a trademark in black and white in the UAE provides protection across all color variations of the logo. This approach aligns with international norms. While the UAE’s Federal Decree-Law No. 36 of 2021 on Trademarks does not explicitly state that black-and-white registrations cover all colors, this practice is widely accepted and typically adhered to by the UAE Ministry of Economy’s Intellectual Property department. Could you please confirm if a black-and-white trademark registration in the UAE indeed provides protection for all color variations of a logo, specifically regarding the broad protection scope covering the mark’s shape, design, and layout?

I gave a brand expensive watch to agent for service and they changed delivery and fees. What can I do?

Q: Dear. I gave a brand and expensive watch to an agent for service. Only `normal service` at the beginning of 2024. They gave me an estimate and completion time and on this basis, I agreed. Later, they changed the price for service and time for completion many times without my agreement, I told them this was not acceptable because I already agreed and given my watch. Until now, my watch is not done and they have not replied to me with an update or anything. I have already reported this to consumer protection in Dubai. They already spoke to them but no use and told me I could try legal action if I wanted. I am confused and cannot believe a famous shop can do this with a business license and take valuables like this. Kindly give me an idea of what I can do. I have all communications in email and sms. Thank you.

Can I withhold a security deposit until the tenant confirms lease cancellation via email?

Q: Dear Lawyers, I have served an eviction notice to my tenant, and he vacated the property 2 months before the eviction`s maturity date, as the lease had expired. I now wish to return his security deposit following his eviction, with the request that the tenant confirms that the lease agreement is canceled. However, he is unwilling to confirm this via e-mail.

Who should submit a dispute to RERA/RDSC if the rent increase is unlawful—the landlord or tenant?

Q: Dear Lawyers, My Dubai landlord is proposing a 9.52% rent increase, which I believe is unlawful. The current rent falls within the RERA rental index range, and no increase is permitted according to the index. The landlord’s representative has been uncooperative in providing proof of a Power of Attorney (POA) or any justification for the proposed increase. Questions: 1. Whose responsibility is it to submit a dispute to RERA/RDSC if the proposed rent increase is unlawful—the landlord`s or the tenant`s? 2. What evidence is required from the landlord (or their representative) to legally justify a rent increase that exceeds what RERA allows? 3. If the Ejari is not renewed due to a dispute at RDSC, will utilities (e.g., DEWA) and services be affected for the tenant?

I recently bought a house, and the tenant abandoned it without notice. What should I do?

Q: Hello, I recently bought a house. In the sale contract, it was mentioned that the house was rented; however, upon the sale, the owner had returned the deposit to the tenant, and the tenant had abandoned the property without informing me.

Is the tenant or the landlord at fault? 2. How can I pursue legal action against the landlord if he is liable? 3. What are the total fees (including all legal expenses) to pursue litigation? Thank you!

Can the wife lose the custody of her children due to a medical condition?

Q: I am a Hindu and my husband has filed for divorce in Dubai. We both stay in Dubai. He claimed for custody of our 11-month-old twins. The divorce is because of domestic violence and interference by his mother. I have had a history of epilepsy (a very rare occurrence) since 2011. I have been taking regular medication and working since 2011 as a teacher. The last time I had a seizure was in August 2023 when I was pregnant. No one was hurt although I fainted. My husband is claiming for the custody on these grounds. I have been staying with my kids, all by myself for the past 2 months. My husband has left me and my kids and stays somewhere else. I have worked in the US (2015-16) all by myself and have been working as a teacher in Dubai for 1.5 years. I have been driving in India since 2007 with no accidents or fines. My epilepsy has never affected my profession or lifestyle. I have been to different countries all by myself. Are there fair chances of me getting custody of my 11-month-old twins?

Can a company sue me for an honest Google review about their services?

Q: Dear Lawyers, A cleaning company is threatening to sue me if I don’t take down my Google review. All I did was share my experience without using any curse words, insults, or specific names. In my review, I wrote, "I saw the cleaner use the mop to clean the toilet; I’m not sure if it was the same one used on the floor. I was surprised and disgusted—that’s why I stopped using their services." The company claims it’s baseless, clearly defamatory, and intended to harm their excellent corporate reputation. They’re now intimidating me to take it down.

Can I submit an affidavit by my husband to replace me in liability for cheque bounce in rental cases?

Q: I am reaching out for legal assistance regarding two rental cases filed in my name due to cheque bounce issues. My name was used to set up a company by my husband, who holds a Power of Attorney (POA) for the business. Unfortunately, he signed cheques in my name that were issued for rental payments, leading to these cases. My husband is prepared to provide an affidavit to the court, taking full responsibility for the legal matters associated with these cheques and affirming my lack of involvement in the company’s financial decisions. Could you please guide me on the following? 1. The process to prepare and submit the affidavit in court to release me from liability in these cases. 2. Any required documentation or steps to support the affidavit. 3. The estimated costs for drafting, notarizing, and filing the affidavit, as well as any additional court fees. Thank you for your guidance on this matter. I look forward to your advice on moving forward.

Are email and WhatsApp voice messages sufficient proof to file a defamation case?

Q: Dear Lawyers, My former partner in the company has been saying bad things about me and my family, especially after his cheque payment bounced. He directly threatened, via his company email, to defame me among my relatives. He also sent a WhatsApp voice message (in Persian) to my brother-in-law, filled with offensive language and defamation threats against me and my family. 1) Are the email and WhatsApp voice messages sufficient proof to file a defamation case? 2) Can I send him a legal notice in advance and request an apology letter within 7 days? 3) Do I have the right to ask for a signed apology letter addressed to me and my family? 4) Can I share the apology letter with the people he defamed me to?
