Does the new law amendment allow pregnancy out of wedlock?
0
Q: Dear all,
I recently got told I will not be able to have a baby and I have severe low egg count, AMH levels and at the age of 38, I am entering menopause.
The doctors have said I may have 2 - 6 months to try with IVF but I am at the very near end and I must act fast. I am from the UK and unmarried.
I cannot get back to the UK currently as they have strict quarantine isolation and IVF is not seen as an emergency treatment.
With the new laws in the UAE now allowing pregnancy out of wedlock is there a chance an IVF clinic would be able to offer emergency IVF without being married?
Thank you

Q: Hi Sir,
Now, I am pregnant for 5 months, and it is legal to deliver the baby, without question.
But because I was pregnant for 5 months before, can we get married after 6 months of pregnancy?

How to file a case against my former company for unpaid salary I was not on their visa? 0
Dear Legal Advice Middle East,
I hope you are well.
I am seeking legal advice regarding an unpaid salary issue with my former employer, [-----]2 LLC. I was employed with them from December 4, 2024, to January 7, 2025, on a monthly salary of 5,000 AED.
However, I only received a partial payment of 2,473 AED on February 24, 2025. The remaining 2,527 AED is still unpaid.
I submitted a complaint to MOHRE on March 2, 2025, but I am unable to proceed further through their official channels.
This is because I was working under the visa of my previous employer, [---] LLC, and not under [----]’s sponsorship.
As a result, I do not meet the criteria to file a labor complaint via the MOHRE app or hotline.
Given this situation, I would appreciate your guidance on how I can legally pursue the recovery of my remaining salary, considering the complications related to my visa status during the employment.
