Hello,

Threatening suicide is a serious matter, and in the UAE, there are laws regarding the protection of individuals who are at risk of harming themselves.

If your spouse has threatened suicide, authorities can intervene to provide her with the necessary care and intervention. This could involve police or medical professionals to ensure her safety.

Dear Questioner,

Thank you for your inquiry.

While your immediate priority should be ensuring your spouse’s safety, it is equally important to protect your legal rights.

I strongly recommend seeking professional assistance for your spouse's emotional distress while also documenting any threats or false accusations made.

Should the situation escalate, we can discuss the best course of action, whether it involves legal protection or other measures.

Please feel free to contact me for further guidance or to schedule a meeting, and I will assist you in navigating this challenging time with a clear legal strategy.

Best regards,

In this situation, it is important to first ensure your personal safety and that of your family. If your spouse is threatening suicide, this is considered an emergency situation that requires immediate intervention from the relevant authorities.

You should call the UAE's emergency numbers or reach out to psychologists or support centers that can help you deal with these threats professionally and safely.

In terms of your legal rights, if the threats become more serious or threaten your life or personal safety, you have the right to seek legal protection through the police or the courts.

UAE law allows you the right to protection from violence or threats, including the possibility of obtaining a restraining order or other measures to protect your safety.

If your husband also suspects that you have a girlfriend, he has no right to intrude on your personal life or use threats to pressure you.

UAE law respects the privacy of individuals, and no one may violate another's privacy or use threats, regardless of the circumstances.

The first course of action in this situation is to remove yourself from the tense situation and seek immediate assistance from the authorities or a specialized legal advisor to ensure your protection and the protection of your rights.
