Possibility of filing a divorce case from outside the UAE
0
Q: My friend is facing so much mental torture from her husband, as a result, she doesn't want to live with him and she plans to go back to her country and file a divorce and complaint against him and his family as they are also involved.
Does she need to complain in Abu Dhabi as well against him before leaving the country to make the case strong??
She has a 1-year old kid, she doesn't have a family here and doesn't want to get involved in any case here. She is booking her ticket by herself as her husband is not booking her a ticket.
Can she go by informing and mentioning her condition over here in the embassy and take action from his own country for her husband?

Can abandoned wife in India come and raise a case against her husband in Dubai?

Q: I got married on 1 February to a man who works in Dubai for the last 13 years. I came to Dubai with my husband on 17 February and stayed together for 5 months.
On 21 July, I came to India to my in-laws' house. My in-laws told me that I should ask for dowry money from my maternal family, otherwise, I will get divorced.
When I refused, they started beating and abusing me. They harassed me a lot and got thrown out of the house. My husband is in Dubai but he is not in contact with me for the last 14 months.
Now I want to know that if I come to Dubai, and if I want to do a safety case against my husband, will the Dubai Police get me justice?

View allDisputing tenant's refusal to accept old landlord's rent increase notice 0
Hi,
We recently bought a villa in Dubai. We are looking for an advocate for legal advice.
Even though the old owner gave the tenant a 90-day notice about the new rent, the tenant is not agreeing to the notice because it didn't come from us.
Since the renewal is in October and we bought the property in September, we don't have 90 days to notify the tenant of the new rent.
The tenant agreed to the new rent in an email with the old owner 90 days ago. Can we dispute this?

We had an accident. Can I claim the treatment costs paid to hospital from the insurance? 0
My family and I had an accident. The incident occurred the very next day of their arrival in the UAE on a residence entry permit and their visa//health insurance was still in process.
With gods grace, everyone was discharged from the hospital on the 3rd day after many tests and keeping us under observation. We were slapped with a hefty bill as my family was not holding any health insurance.
What are the chances that I could claim the medical expenses through the vehicle insurance, as it covers co-passengers as well?

What can I do if a company hired me then changed their mind? 0
I am working in a company and their management is the worst. They made an interview in India and called me.
After calling me here, they again made interviews and made me work for 1 month. And now, they're telling me I am not capable of work and they are mentally torturing me.
I have given them 1.5 lack in office in India and here they are not paying me any salary. I am going into depression as I am not getting any solutions.
The only solution coming to my mind is a suicide, I don’t have any other options left. I have taken money in interest and people are daily coming to my house for money.
Please guide me in a proper way on what I can do.
