Q: Hi, I was married in Dubai in June 2015 and divorced in October 2016. My then wife was in another relationship. When I found out in Feb 2016, I filed for divorce in Scotland. Scots law dictates a separation of 1 year before the divorce is granted. As such, I travelled to Dubai in March 2016 to reclaim my belongings and finalize the decision. In Oct 2016, I received the confirmation of divorce from my then wife along with a statement from the court compelling me to pay AED 100,000.00 as compensation. I took the divorce as final but didn't pay the bill. As such, I would like to know, is there any open case against me in the UAE preventing my travel?

Q: I have a husband visa in the UAE. Now, I am in India. I did a big mistake; I stole my friend's gold earrings 2 months before. Two weeks before, she called and said that she has raised a police complaint in Sharjah. Scared, I confessed to her that I only took it and exchanged it. But she was not ready to forgive. She said the case is still there, and my husband is telling they have banned me from the UAE. Already, some problem between me and my husband. I don't know whether the ban is true or not. My original passport is in my in-laws' custody, but I have the passport number and Emirates ID. I want to check whether I am banned in the UAE and if they will arrest me.
