The requirements and procedures of obtaining a tech start-up license

Q: Hello, We are working on launching a start-up in the UAE and we have a couple of legal questions. We would be very grateful to receive feedback on. We would like to operate as "beta" for the first couple of months to test the market before taking up a license and launch the business officially. Is there any tolerance for this and what is the legal risk? Before getting full-time employees, we are thinking to give some missions to freelancers. Can freelancers operate any kind of job or there are some restrictions? Are we, as the business, responsible to check their legal status and what is the risk associated? Can they operate on the mainland even if we cannot (free zone license)? Thank you in advance. The UAE start-up to be launched.

حق الزوجة رقع قضية طلاق لسوء العشرة

س: السلام عليكم أنا متزوجة من مواطن إماراتي وأنا وافدة وعندي ابنة عمرها 3 أشهر وأبوها لا يقرب لها أبداً ويقول لي "أنا أكرهها وهي يمكن أصلاً ليست ابنتي. أنت حملت بها حين سافرتي لزياره أهلك". وللعلم أول ما قلت له أنني حامل، طلب مني أن أجهض فرفضت وأحضر دواء ورفضت تناوله. بعدها قال لي "أنا اشتقت لأهلك فلنسافر ونزورهم". سافرنا وتركني في بلد أهلي ورجع. طلبت منه فلوس لأجل تذكرة السفر فرفض وبقيت في بيت أهلي 5 أشهر ولم يسأل علي ولا على جنيني. والآن كونه كل يوم يتهمني في شرفي وأن البنت ليست ابنته، ما عدت أطيق العيش معه. السؤال. ما الإجراءات التي يمكن أن أتخذها؟ وهل كونه يتهمني في شرفي سبب كافٍ لرفع قضية طلاق للضرر؟ علماً أنه ليس عندي إثبات وهو بالطبع سينكر لأنه سبق واتصلت بوالدته وأخبرتها فأنكر أنه قال هذا الكلام.
