Can a Muslim man marry a Muslim woman in the UAE law?

In case of police clearance certificate rejection, do the police give a reason for rejection?

Dear Lawyers, I signed a Form F with a buyer for the sale of my house as we were planning to leave the country. The contract was signed about a month ago, but the handover is not until August. Due to personal circumstances changing, we are no longer leaving Dubai and would like to cancel Form F. The Form F contract stipulates that we have to pay the buyer 10% of the purchase value. The real estate agent is now claiming that we also have to pay the buyer's real estate commission and the conveyancing fee. Our understanding is that the 10% penalty is the only penalty. Which is correct, and what are the next steps to dispute this? Also, is there any way to dispute the 10% itself under the law due to personal circumstances changing?

The owner sent me a notice by email saying that he doesn't want to renew the contract for the purpose of personal use. He didn't mention what this personal use means. He already has multiple houses for rent and he has his own which he is living in currently. Is it legal to evict me? Thanks

I got an offer letter from Al-Haldin Gulf Construction & Petroleum LLC. Can you please advise about the company?

Good day! I have rental disputes and got a settlement plan 8 months ago. But I did not pay the settlement because at the moment of applying for the settlement plan, I had a job offer and lost it because of the travel ban and the visa could not be processed. I have another personal police case where I already paid an amount of 18,000 and the claim was 40,000 dirhams. Now that I did not continue paying, the plaintiff put the case again. I have another offer letter now and I want to get a clearance certificate within 48 hrs, or else I might lose this job as well. Kindly advise

I bought a new vehicle from the dealership [-----] and after 5 min of using the car, an alert popped up. Less than 24h later I informed the dealers of the issue. After struggling with them about it, I finally brought the car to service at their company and they have confirmed the part needs to be fully changed. I’m telling them I cannot accept a faulty car and demand either a refund or another vehicle. So far they’ve been less than cooperative.

Dear sir/madam, There is a case against me in a commercial, full-jurisdiction court. Sorry if I'm getting this wrong. I have not participated in the case and on the advice of my UK lawyers, I have not been represented there in Dubai. Upon checking the portal, it says a judgment was reached yesterday, but I can't see further details. So my questions are: 1) Do judgments happen behind closed doors or in front of the lawyers? (the plaintiffs have lawyers) 2) How long does it usually take for the verdict to be public and for me to see the outcome of the case? The only thing it says online is the word "decided".

Hi there, I got deported from the UAE for failing medical but when I reached my country, I have done several medical checkups but everything is OK; HIV negative, no hepatitis B, etc. I don't know if there was a mistake or a misfortune for me. I am wondering if they can allow me to come back to Dubai.

Respected Advisors, I have been involved in a few criminal cases since 2017, but all of them were cleared by this year. I have obtained release letters for all the cases from the public prosecution office through an online portal. Recently, I also received my residence visa. After the visa process was completed, I applied for a PCC online. However, the request was rejected. I contacted the 901 office, and they advised me to visit the CID. I arranged for a power of attorney to be granted along with all the necessary documents to update the system. Twice I was told to come in person, but I am hesitant to do so because of my previous negative experience. Could someone please advise me whether I must go in person or if the person holding the power of attorney can handle the process? Thank you!

Dear Sir/Madam, Is it possible to resign on probation and return to home country? I came here to join a company on November 1, 2022, and I got my Emirates ID on February 2, 2023. Now I want to resign because I am unable to adjust to the company's work culture and unprofessional behavior. I am planning to go back to my home country, Bangladesh. I want to know how long I can stay after canceling the visa and if there is any obligation that could be created by my employer. As I bear my all costs by myself coming over to Dubai, they only provide the company's visa cost.  Thank you!

I'm an employer and an employee claimed 50% overtime. The actual overtime working hours were 20% for which extra was added to his salary with the right calculation. A MOHRE case was logged but it's now in court. Our first hearing is next week (online court sessions). Do I need to prepare my documents that can be presented in court or do I need to prepare something in advance to show my calculations and proof?

Hi Lawyers, Many individuals have invested in a Forex trading company based in the UAE. Should we hire a lawyer to file a case, or can we report it to the police station to summon the involved party, allowing them to settle and refund our money? The company is not regulated in the UAE, yet it accepts payments in the UAE and manipulates trades, causing clients to lose their money. Please help us. Thank you!

Good day, One person owes me 50,000 dirhams and was supposed to return the entire amount, including the monthly investment with 5% interest. However, he has suddenly disappeared and is not returning the principal amount or the interest. I have not received any security check from him. Can I take him to court or explore other options to ban him in this country?

I am in India right now and I wanted to cancel my work visa in the UAE but my employer is not willing to cancel it. If I stay more than 6 months, will my visa be canceled automatically? After that, will I face any problems coming back to find a new work or when I get a new visa?

I have received a judgment in my favor from RDC that awarded me legal fees. However, RDC says that legal fees do not mean lawyer fees; they are RDC fees only. Is this correct?

Good afternoon, Thank you for your time. The public prosecution appealed my judgment (a fine that I satisfactorily cleared) and requested increasing the fine. Can you please explain what happens during a criminal case appeal hearing for me as a defendant? Will I be asked questions? Is the hearing just for the Public Prosecution to present their appeal to the judge, and I do not need to give a response? Thank you again for your time.

Dear lawyers, The new employee will start on June 1, 2025. However, he would like to open a new bank account in the UAE thus asking to provide the salary certificate mentioning his salary in AED and if possible not mentioning the start date. Legally, can the company provide such a certificate?

I received a termination letter from my company on January 31st, 2025, with a one-month notice period, stating my last working day as February 28th, 2025. The reason given for the termination is "considering the current business scenario, the company has considered measures to reorganize the business." Could this be considered arbitrary dismissal? Am I entitled to any compensation or benefits from the company as a result of this termination?

By checking in Al Adheed, I have found there is a marital matter case against me in Dubai Courts. There is a hearing date for next week and the time mentioned in the case status with a link for an online hearing. However, I have not received any message from Dubai courts regarding this by mail or phone. I have all contact details updated with EID. In this case, what should I do? I don’t know what the case is about. Should I hire a lawyer or I can attend the hearing by myself? Please do suggest options.
