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?

Missing business partner since 2003. What to do about his share in the LLC? 0
Hello,
I am a manager of an LLC company with 25% share. In February 2003, a partner joined the company with a 25% share.
After two months, he didn’t like the company and left. After two years, we did not know where he was. We just heard that he left to Tunisia before his visa expired.
What to do with his 25% share, please?

How to legally receive income from crypto trading without raising any concerns? 0
Hello,
Hope this message finds you well!
I am seeking legal advice regarding my financial situation as a forex trader living in the UAE under a sponsor work visa. Currently, I do not work for any company and earn my income primarily through cryptocurrency trading.
However, I would like to ensure that I can legally receive and withdraw approximately AED 15,000 per month into my UAE bank account without raising any suspicion from the bank.
My main concerns are:
I am a forex trader and earn money through cryptocurrency, which I then exchange into fiat currency (AED). How can I ensure that the process of depositing this income into my bank account is transparent and compliant with UAE laws to avoid any issues with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations?
Since I do not have a formal job or salary, how should I go about documenting or explaining my income to the bank to avoid any red flags regarding the source of my funds?
Are there any specific steps I need to take to ensure my deposits are compliant?
