Q: My name is Julia, I am a Muslim. I am married for 7 years already. We have two little children. Recently, my husband, he is a Muslim, admitted to me that he used to have a relationship behind my back for more than a year. This relationship is over. But at the same time, he allows himself to spend time with other girls. And now he's talking about divorce, but not by law. Said to collect my things, take the kids and go home. I need advice, someone can help me? What should I do?

Q: I need help. My husband is cheating on me and I have evidence for that from 2017 to date. I have photos of the messages exchanged between him and his girlfriends, one night stands. I have evidence of him being active on dating sites like tinder and Bharat matrimonial posing as a single and chatting with girls. He has occasionally promised two girls for jobs in the UAE on LinkedIn and thus seeking favours from them. I want to report this to his company . More than divorce and custody of my son, I want him to face legal consequences for his actions. Kindly guide me

Q: After living in Dubai with my husband and son for 3 years, I recently found him in our bed with another woman. I moved into a hotel and he blocked my bank accounts, took my car, cut off my phone and left me to make my own way back to the UK and sort everything out. He has also blocked my UK accounts and doesn't money back. I have a lawyer here but has cost me £5000 already and has achieved nothing. I am struggling to serve divorce papers in Dubai and I have to pay costs there too. He lives in Dubai but works in Abu Dhabi. Our 3 children are over 18 and living in the UK. I did not work in Dubai and he financially supported me. We jointly own a house in the UK which I am now living in but has a mortgage. Could you let me know what I am entitled to from his assets and if there is any legal help for me there so I know what his rights are too? I want to know also the criminal implications for him in Dubai for committing adultery. I have photos of them both in our apartment. Kind regards, Joanne

Q: My husband email was open on my computer and I found out he is having a relationship with someone else and I even have her whole contact and name information.

Q: My name is S. I am from Germany and have been married to an Egyptian (Muslim) for one year, who lives and works in Dubai. The wedding was in Mauritius according to local law. He made perjury that he was single before our wedding. This was done in writing and is also on the marriage certificate. This week I learned that since 2016 he is married to an Egyptian and has a two-year-old child. Had I known this before our wedding, I would never have agreed to it all. During our relationship, I gave him just under € 20,000, which he wanted to repay me. I can prove part of it. His wife confirmed to me several times via WhatsApp that he just wanted me to get money and a visa to Germany. What can I do against him?

Q: I find out my girlfriend is cheating on me with a married guy. Do I have the right to file a complaint against him or only his wife has the right to? And do I land in trouble if it involves collecting information from her social media accounts?

Q: My husband confessed that he was having an affair and cheating on me with another woman. Can I file a divorce for this?

Q: Good morning, My husband and I got married 5 years ago in the UK. During Covid, he got a job in Bahrain and left me behind with a little baby. I’ve moved back to my parents in Poland and we were supposed to be reunited after my baby gets her passport. In the meantime, he had an affair with a local lady for 8 months which I wasn't aware of. After one year, he moved to Dubai when I finally managed to be reunited with him on a tourist visa. My husband was supposed to organize everything through his company but he failed to do so. While in Dubai, I found out about his affair. I wanted to leave but he started to use physical and mental violence against me and my daughter. In the meantime, he started another secret relationship which again I found out about. I had to leave Dubai as my visa was finished. Now we are still married and my husband made his relationship public on social media. He doesn’t support me and my baby financially. Can I file a case against him? I’m currently in Poland.

Q: How can you force your spouse to pay you alimony in the UAE when he committed adultery and I have two young kids? I am a stay-at-home mother.

UAE Personal Status Law (also known as Personal Affairs Law) governs marriage, divorce, inheritance and other personal affairs in the United Arab Emirates. The law equally applies to citizens of the UAE and non-citizens unless one of them asks for the application of his home country law.
