Terminated from job due to pregnancy, what can I do?

Hello Sir,

I am a doctor and was working at a clinic. I am expecting a baby and am 9 months pregnant.

My company terminated me due to my pregnancy, and I filed a complaint with MOHRE.

The judge ruled that my termination was not illegal and that I would not receive compensation.

What should I do now?

Dear Questioner,

You have the right to appeal the judgment if the claim is more than 50 thousand.

Dear Questioner,

Nothing!

You can't appeal because the first instance court decision is correct.

Dear Questioner,

Is there any particular clause regarding this on your employment contract?
