Expatriates marriage in the UAE under the law of their country

Q: My fiancé is a French national & I am a Filipino national. We are looking into getting married here in the UAE.
We don't want to get married under the UAE courts and under Sharia law, if that is even an option for us, a church wedding is also out of the question.
Can you please advise what other options we have to be able to get married in the UAE, and the steps of doing so?

Is getting married in the UAE as part of a civil marriage recognized in India?

Q: Hello,
Can anyone confirm to me if getting married in the UAE as part of a civil marriage is recognized/can be registered in India?
I am an Australian citizen, marrying an Indian citizen (both with UAE residency). I would rather marry in a civil court in the UAE but understand this may not be valid in India.
I also want to understand the differences and complications of being married under Indian law in case of divorce, rights, etc.
If we were to get married in the UAE under the Indian Foreign Marriage Act, do the Indian or UAE laws apply as the marriage was performed in the UAE?

The maximum notice period employers can put in the contract as per the new labor law 0
Our internal contract has a notice period of 3 months from both parties. In the new labor implementation, only one month's notice is required for less than 5 years of service.
Please advise if we can follow our internal contract since the position is very curtailed and the organization will not be able to replace the position within one month.

Annual leave salary calculation as per the new labor law 2
Dear sir/madam,
Annual leave salary calculation as per the new labor law.
Can you please clarify the correct annual leave salary rules?
Some say it is basic + HRA for the month you will take off, others say it is full salary, and somewhere I read it is basic + HRA (annual leave salary) plus the normal salary you get.
Can you please clarify?
Thanks for your valuable time and kind assistance!
