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!

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.

View allI 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? 0
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?
