Is the wife liable for the unpaid loan of her husband?
Am I responsible for the unpaid debts of my husband?
My husband took a loan in Dubai. We were paying installments on time but later on, he lost his job and we had to move back to our home country.
Now he can’t go back to the UAE until he settles his debts. My company wants me to go to Dubai for some official work but I am not sure if I am able to travel freely or I am also banned to travel.
Please, can someone help me with this?
If you are not the joint debtor of the bank and your name was not mentioned in the contract with the bank, then you may not be implicated by the bank for the default of your husband who was the actual customer of the bank.
In case of losing his job, he may renegotiate his settlement with the bank as per existing regulations through his lawyers.
If you want to know if any criminal case is filed against you in your absence, you may check the same using your ID details via the official online portal of the UAE.
Please let us know if we can further assist you.
