Q: I need help!
I have a husband who beats me up and strangles me whenever we have a fight. He is an Indian guy who has been brought up seeing his dad beats his mom and his mom is comfortable with this.
He was brought up in a male-dominant world and thinks that a woman will tolerate anything that men do.
Please suggest what to do!
Do we have any kind of helpline number to contact for this?

The implications of reporting about domestic violence to the police

8
Q: We are a Muslim couple from India, married for 12 years, and have an 11-year-old daughter. We moved to the UAE in 2014. We used to have arguments that led to physical violence.
There was also too much interference from my in-laws as well. I was under counseling from the Dubai foundation for women and children as I reported a domestic violence incident in 2018.
I had made a medical report and Sharjah police had warned him as well. Further to all this, my husband had to go through a kidney transplant and I was taking care of him and this brought the relationship back again from the verge of divorce.
We came back to Dubai after the transplant in Jan 2020. But slowly, he started changing back in the same way. He has now hit me again and my daughter called up the Helpline number for Dubai foundation.
I made a medical report as per their advice again. I need to know whether I should report this to a nearby police station and what are the implications?

My husband is mentally torturing me for money. What can I do?


1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I got married in 2022 in India. After marriage, I came to Dubai with my husband. My husband is mentally torturing me just for money. Since last year, I have given all my earned money to my husband in Dubai.
After 6 months, I told my husband to take financial responsibility, but he refused. He said he will not take my responsibility and told me to go back to India and stay with my parents.
Every time, he torments me by mentioning his mother. My mother-in-law has taken a lot of money in interest for her daughter, and my husband pays all the interest.
What can I do in the UAE? Can I file a police complaint against him? Is there any law for women in such cases?
Please help me!

View allCan a debt agency access AECB reports without consent for a 15-year-old closed case? 0
Dear Respected Lawyers,
Subject: Request for Legal Advice Regarding Unlawful Practices by a Debt Collection Agency
I would greatly appreciate your advice and guidance regarding a troubling issue my colleague is facing with a collection agency.
The company has been contacting the employer, urging them to ask my colleague to get in touch with them regarding a supposed liability.
This claim is related to a 15-year-old closed dispute with a bank credit card, and the issue seems to stem from outdated and inaccurate information on the AECB report.
Our main concerns are as follows:
Unauthorized Access: The company is accessing her AECB report without her consent. She has never given permission for them to retrieve or view her personal financial information.
How is it possible for a third-party agency to openly access and track AECB reports, especially for a dispute that was resolved 15 years ago?

I was evicted from my apartment to be sold but it was gifted and rented at a higher price. What can I do? 0
I was evicted from my apartment after living there for five years. My landlord informed me a year in advance that the lease would not be renewed because he intended to sell the property.
Prior to this, he attempted to impose a rent increase that was not compliant with RERA regulations, which I refused to accept. He then served me with an official Dubai Court eviction notice, citing the need to take back the property for sale.
Five months after I moved out, I discovered the property was rented out at a much higher price. Upon further investigation, I found that the ownership was transferred as a "Gift" rather than a sale.
This makes it seem like the eviction was only to raise the rent rather than a genuine need to sell.
Do I have a valid case for wrongful eviction against my landlord?
Also, under Dubai law, does transferring ownership as a "Gift" hold the same legal grounds as selling in justifying eviction?

I invested money in a business but my partner is removing me out from partnership. Can I pursue legal action? 0
Hi
I'm an Irish citizen and a resident of the United Kingdom. I got investment fraud in Dubai. I invested money into a business with a Pakistani national guy in March 2024 via bank transfer into his business account.
Now he's giving back the money which I invested in business after 9 months. He's preparing a letter from a local lawyer to kick me out of the business. I do not have any other option than to take out at least my money.
But it's unfair to me that he used my money in business and took all the advantage.
Some people say to me that if you claim money or take legal action against him, it will take too much time and I need to travel to Dubai to appear in court because it is a civil matter. But I'm not a resident.
How can I follow the civil case there?
That's why my partner knows that I can not do anything and this case keeps running long time and in the end nothing happens. But I'm thinking that I will submit a complaint through my embassy and I also have a solicitor in the United Kingdom.
