دعوى عضل ولي بسبب رفض الأب تزويج ابنته
6
س: السلام عليكم أخت مريم،
خطيبي يريد الزواج بي. والدي رفض بحجة أن أم خطيبي غير موافقة وأن خطيبي قدراته المادية ضعيفة مع الأخذ بعين الاعتبار أن خطيبي جهّز لي منزلاً كاملاً وكان ينفق عليّ.
علمًا بأن والدي تزوج بدون موافقة أمه. حاولت أقنعه مرات عديدة لكنه رفض وكذلك حاول خطيبي مع أمه لمدة لا تقل عن ثلاث سنوات. إخوته الآخرين تزوجوا بدون رضاها لأنها تريد المال من أبنائها.
هل يحق لي رفع قضية عضل ولي هنا؟
وشكرًا!

رفع دعوى عضل ولي بسبب تغيُّب الوالد وحالته النفسية
1
س: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته،
تقدم لي رجل وتمت الموافقة عليه من جميع الأقارب ولكن القاضي يرفض الموافقة على الزواج لعدم حضور الوالد.
الوالد مختفي منذ أكثر من أسبوعين ولم يتم التعرف على مكانه. تم تقديم بلاغ في مركز الشرطة عن غياب الوالد ولم يتم الرد حتى الآن. في هذه الحالة، ما الحل؟
مع العلم أني مخطوبة منذ شهرين وتم تأجيل كتب الكتاب بسبب وجود الوالد في مستشفى الطب النفسي للعلاج وكان الوالد موافقًا.
بعد خروجه من المستشفى، تم تحديد موعد كتب الكتاب لكن قبل كتب الكتاب بأسبوع، تغيَّب الوالد ولم يتم التعرف على مكانه حتى الآن؛ مع العلم أني مطلقة وعمري ٢٩ عامًا.
رفعت دعوى عضل الولي ولكن ليس لدي أي إثبات عن وضع والدي ولا أعرف ماذا أقول للقاضي وقت الجلسة خوفًا من الرفض!

1
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?

Cancellation of a property purchase and refund for over-delay in handover 0
Hello
I am contacting you from London. I have purchased a property in Dubai in a project in 2005. We purchased two apartments and today we have not received anything yet.
This construction project is still going on and the developer has changed many times. Another company now runs the project, and whenever I contact them they say it's going to be ready in the next 3-months or 6-months.
It keeps postponing work are currently at standstill. I have contacted them then and the same they're waiting for more information from the Dubai authorities.
Every time there's a different story, and we get delayed. It's now been 16 to 17 years since we have invested in this and I would like to put a stop to this now, possibly get a refund and compensation.
Could you please help me by advising me what my situation can be?

I understand that if anyone wishes to resign without serving their full notice period, they are supposed to compensate the employer for the remaining time that they didn't serve the notice, also known as "notice Compensation".

Can I hold the delivery of goods to a buyer outside the UAE if he defaulted on payment? 0
I, as a UAE-based Seller, entered a sales agreement with a KSA-based Buyer. The Buyer defaulted on the LC payment, breaching the contract.
The goods are stuck at the port as they need original documents, which I am holding to recover the outstanding balance.
They later made a partial payment but now threaten to cash the PBG (UAE bank) I provided if don't release the document.
The contract mandates DIAC arbitration but lacks a governing law clause. I need advice on:
1. Which law applies to this dispute?
2. Where can I seek an injunction to prevent PBG encashment, given the Buyer’s bad faith and breach? Or should I send a letter to their bank with the brief above?
Kindly advise.

I purchased a rented apartment in Abu Dhabi. Can I evict the tenant immediately if there is no Tawtheeq contact? 0
I recently purchased a rented apartment in Abu Dhabi and agreed to honor the existing lease. After the transfer, I discovered that the lease is not a Tawtheeq contract, meaning it is not officially registered.
Since I am not receiving rent (as it was a non-refundable arrangement with the seller), I prefer not to issue a new Tawtheeq. I also want to avoid a formal notice to vacate to prevent disputes, as I plan to move in.
However, I have already informed the tenant that I will not be renewing the lease. I need legal advice on the implications of proceeding without a Tawtheeq contract.
What are my risks, especially if the tenant refuses to move out?
What legal actions, if any, can the tenant take in this situation?
