Q: Dear Sirs I married (Nikah) my husband, Egyptian national working in Dubai, on 17/03/2018. I was due to move to Dubai, and I translated all my official documents into Arabic, had them notarized...etc. because my husband promised to pay me. I have evidence of this promise in WhatsApp. This amounted to something like 15´000 SEK (Swedish krona), which is not a lot of money. Also, he has not paid my Mehr of merely 1000 SEK. Q. Can I do anything to claim my money back? Yours faithfully, S. K.

Q: Hi. I have been with my boyfriend for 2 years now. I moved in with him. When we started dating, he already borrowed some money from me. Then later on, he asked me to take a loan so he could get a flat. Then when I got the bonus, we used it to pay his pending to clear his case. He keeps cheating on me. many times I caught him. He became violent, hitting me, punching me even in a taxi, and he pulled my hair in front of his brothers. He broke my phone when I tried to move out. But still, I stayed because I love him. He started buying cameras at home. He is hiding the camera because he is accusing me of cheating. He is accusing me of having a relationship with other guys in the flat. He is becoming more and more abusive. Every day he is accusing me of something. I bought a camera and helped him install it to prove he was wrong. But he kept accusing me of even changing the position of the camera every day. What should I do? What legal action can I take? I want to put an end to this now.
