View allFraudulent changing of the manager and appropriation of shares 0
Salam Alaikum,
I need your help to solve my issue. We have started one tourism company in Sharjah Media City free zone in Jan 2018. I was a 20% shareholder.
But in the month of Nov, my other partner came and asked me to remove my name as a manager from the license because he has some money in KSA and will bring to Dubai and then through this company will transfer to Japan.
He will remove my name from the bank and then he can do this. I agreed verbally. But now I came to know that he transferred my shares to his name. But still, I am receiving the du bills under my name.
The guarantee cheques issued under my signature. We are operating a cruise in Deira. The contract is under my name. for the last 1 year, I have not received any money for my shares.
Immigration card still has my name. 2 days ago, one guy from that partner filed a complaint in Naif Police that I am not the partner and they want me not to come to the cruise.
The cruise agreement is under my name and company name with my signature. Kindly help me in this regard.

The right of a non-muslim wife to seek divorce present 0
Good afternoon,
My brother is getting a divorce in Dubai. Both he and his wife are not Muslim but the divorce is done through Shariah Law.
His wife started proceeding in the family section with conciliators but herself never came and finally, the conciliator forwarded the case to the court.
In the first instance, it was granted a divorce without compensation (following also meeting with arbitrators) but both appealed the first instance decision.
His wife is now asking for Motaa (divorce present) in the appeal. His salary is around AED 65k.
Does he have to pay for it? How much approximately could it be?
