Q: Hello, My husband is cheating on me with other different women. I was always forgiving him. He always promised not to do that again and how important I and my son are to him. Unfortunately, he did it again. He damaged my heart. I have already filed a case through a legal consultant. As I know, only local lawyers are allowed to represent at the court. I am searching for a local lawyer with affordable fees, please. I really need help! We both are Muslims, my son is just 3 years. Thank you in advance!

Q: Hi, I need to know the legal consequences of sending intimate (like true lovers) Whatsapp messages to a married woman. Here is the situation. X (husband) and Y (wife) are a couple and they are based in Canada. However, Y is getting separated from X and seeking a divorce. While Y was in India as part of getting separated from X, another person A sent intimate Whatsapp messages to her. Also, note that A and Y are in love. The person A is based out of Dubai currently. Is there any legal element to this situation if the person X files a case against A in UAE? Please clarify.

Q: Hi there, I’ve tried getting some help from you, however, I’m yet to hear back. I’m seeking advice on the topic of adultery where my husband and I are from the UK and the lady is resident in Dubai. She is Canadian, but working for the Emirates Airlines. My husband broke the relationship with her, but the lady keeps continuously contacting my husband asking him to leave me and our two small sons (5 years and 4 months). She often gets under the influence of alcohol and on those occasions, she is even more aggressive with her approach. As the girl works for the airline, she has frequent trips to London. I would like to see if there’s anything I can do to stop her trying to break our family. We do not want to get divorced, we are trying to strengthen our bond. I understand that my husband was also at fault, however, he’s been trying to make amends for his mistake and find a way away from this girl but she would not stop contacting us. Thank you for your help! Best, Agnes Gorgyan

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.
