رفع قضية عضل ولي بسبب رفض الأب لخاطبٍ كفء
4
س: السلام عليكم،
تقدمت مرتين لخطبة فتاة وكان سبب الرفض في المرتين مختلفًا بالرغم من أن والد البنت موافق وسأل عني كثيرًا وأشاد بي أمام العائلة، ولكن تدخل أشخاص من طرف أم البنت لفقوا لأبي اتهامات زورًا رفض الأب بعدها.
المرة الثانية رد علينا بعد شهر تقريبًا وسبب الرفض كان نفس الأشخاص الذين اتهموني بشيء آخر أن أمي ليست أمي مع أنهم يكذبون على والد البنت والأب يعرف هذا الشيء ولكن لا يريد أن يزوجني ابنته بسبب زوجته وإخوان زوجته الذين يضغطون عليه باستمرار والأب عصبي جدًا لا يتفاهم مع أحد.
هل يمكن للبنت رفع قضية عضل؟

I purchased an apartment, but the previous landlord refuses to vacate. What to do? 0
Hello,
I bought an apartment, but the previous landlord is refusing to vacate it. The contract clearly states that the landlord should hand over the apartment on the day of the transfer.
Out of courtesy, I gave him three days to vacate so he could find a new place to stay, but the time has passed, and he is still refusing to vacate and hand it over.
What should I do in this case?

My hair was damaged by a very known and professional salon. Can I seek refund and compensation? 0
Hello.
I went to a very well-known and professional salon (or so I thought) for a normal hair dye. The guy who did my hair left the dye on my hair for over an hour when it was supposed to be on for a maximum of 30 minutes.
He wasn’t paying attention to me walking around the store talking to everyone and also doing another customer's extensions.
Now my hair is potentially damaged, my skull burns, and is flaky (meaning the dye wasn’t ammonia-free which is extremely unprofessional for such an expensive salon).
I didn’t even get the outcome that I wanted and the dye color doesn’t even show. I talked to him about it but he shut it down so fast and gaslit me the whole time and made me feel like I was the wrong one and I was ‘complaining about something so light’.
Please let me know what I can do legally about this.
Thank you.

Can I keep my shop by paying rent in installments despite an eviction case against me? 0
Hi,
I have leased out a shop in Dubai, but due to huge financial losses and my husband's job loss, I can't afford to pay the rent. Meanwhile, my landlord has filed a case for eviction and payment of rent.
Right now, my condition is getting better as my husband has got a job and is ready to pay the rent in installments.
Can I pay in installments and hold the shop even if the judgment goes against me?

Can an employer post an employee’s photo on social media without their consent? 0
Hello,
Can an employer post an employee's photo on social media, LinkedIn or Instagram, without the employee's consent?
Secondly, the employer is forcing the employee to update the company details in the employee's profile.
I believe LinkedIn and Instagram are personal profiles and one cannot be forced to update the details. This photo was taken in the office.
