Q: What would be my visa status after divorcing my husband in Dubai?
Since I am on his visa he says that I can continue to remain on his visa, but he got me into this country with our marriage certificate from India under the Special Marriage Act.
Thank you.

Q: I'm an Egyptian Muslim married to a Christian Macedonian according to Islamic Sharia at the Egyptian Embassy in Dubai.
It has been a very difficult marriage and I want a divorce with my wife who's pregnant and doesn't want it in peace. I'm her sponsor in Dubai as she isn't working now.
Continuing in this marriage is impossible and we didn't have any divorce agreements before marriage. I want to know her rights and my rights, please.

I want to resign and file a case against the employer for cutting down salaries 0
Hi,
I am working as an Engineer in a free zone company in Studio City, Dubai, since 2019 till date. My visa is issued in Abu Dhabi.
From March 2020, they cut down my salary & issued a letter stating that my salary has been cut down from April-20 to Aug-20 by 25%.
But even after August 20, they did not only pay me my initial salary but my salary was cut down a lot more and irregular.
The total pending is about AED 95,000+ to be received to date. Also, the company did not pay for insurance renewal and I was forced to take my own medical insurance for myself & to sponsor my wife's visa & insurance.
I have decided to resign and cancel my visa immediately due to a new job offer.
Is it better to raise the case while on their visa or after changing their visa?
Within how many days should I raise a case after changing my visa and cancelling my work permit?
Kindly provide your opinion on how to proceed.
What are the chances that I get my pending salaries in full and gratuity?
