The consequences of filling a case for divorce regarding alimony and Mehr


2
Q: Hi!
I’m married to an Emirati man who wants to divorce me, but he doesn’t want to give me the dowry mentioned in the marriage contract in case of divorce.
He advises me to ask the divorce cause he said that, in this case, he doesn’t need to pay me the amount mentioned in the marriage contract.
We don’t have kids. I’m from Romania and we got married in Dubai. I want to divorce him too cause our marriage is not working anymore but I don’t know what will happen with my alimony in this case.
Kindly tell me how I need to proceed.
Any advice, please!
Thank you!

Can my husband take our 2-year-old daughter abroad without my consent? 0
Hello,
My husband has been threatening that he will take my 2-year-old daughter to Pakistan and leave her there with his family.
He has said this several times and has confirmed to my dad that he will be taking my daughter in the coming few weeks. We are both on his sponsorship.
What are my rights in the UAE? Can my husband travel with a minor without the mother's consent? How can I stop him from taking my daughter to Pakistan? Do I have any legal standing if I am under his sponsorship?

My husband sold the house we bought jointlyand took a cheque plus 1-year instalments from me. What can I do? 0
Hi,
I am a non-Muslim indian expatriate, residing in Dubai since 2015. The first 5 years, I was on a working visa, and after the delivery of my first baby, I left my job and became dependent on my husband.
In 2018, we bought a house together where I invested AED 2 hundred thousand from my income (I have proof in the form of a cheque). I also paid AED 3300 monthly installment for 1 year, for a personal loan taken out for the house.
But in spite of my resistance, my husband tactfully put the house in his name, so the title deed was in his name. In 2024, when my kids and I were in India for vacation, he cancelled our visas and residency. He also filed for a divorce in India.
The divorce is not yet finalised, and we are still married. Since August 2024, he hasn't let me access my house in Dubai, so I filed a case, which eventually went in my favor in January 2025.
Since I used to travel on a visit visa, I left for India and returned in March, to find out that my husband had already sold the house. The new owner is residing there.
What can I do now?
Help!

I want to file divorce from husband and I got threatened by him. How to protect myself legally? 0
I'm a Muslim expat who wants to file for divorce from my husband who is also a Muslim expat.
I tried before but he threatened to "destroy" me, so I got scared and stayed.
I want to ask family lawyers what have they seen revengeful husbands doing to ruin their wives' lives so that I can be prepared.

Case set for judgment after missed hearing: Why? 1
Dear Sir/Madam,
I attended my first hearing on August 11th, but after that, I could not attend my second hearing on time. On September 25th, I again paid a fee for a new hearing date.
They told me to come in 3-4 days, so I went today. However, today they are saying that my case is set for judgment.
Does this mean that they canceled my case because I did not attend?
