رفع دعوى عضل ولي بسبب تغيُّب الوالد وحالته النفسية
س: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته، تقدم لي رجل وتمت الموافقة عليه من جميع الأقارب ولكن القاضي يرفض الموافقة على الزواج لعدم حضور الوالد. الوالد مختفي منذ أكثر من أسبوعين ولم يتم التعرف على مكانه. تم تقديم بلاغ في مركز الشرطة عن غياب الوالد ولم يتم الرد حتى الآن. في هذه الحالة، ما الحل؟ مع العلم أني مخطوبة منذ شهرين وتم تأجيل كتب الكتاب بسبب وجود الوالد في مستشفى الطب النفسي للعلاج وكان الوالد موافقًا. بعد خروجه من المستشفى، تم تحديد موعد كتب الكتاب لكن قبل كتب الكتاب بأسبوع، تغيَّب الوالد ولم يتم التعرف على مكانه حتى الآن؛ مع العلم أني مطلقة وعمري ٢٩ عامًا. رفعت دعوى عضل الولي ولكن ليس لدي أي إثبات عن وضع والدي ولا أعرف ماذا أقول للقاضي وقت الجلسة خوفًا من الرفض!

Transfer labor dues of a deceased employee to his family in home country
Q: Hi, I am reaching out to seek advice on the payments (i.e. insurance claim, final settlement) as the employee passed away and left the spouse and two kids age 7-year-old son (autistic), and 1 & half year daughter. The employee is non-Muslim and passed away outside the UAE while visiting his home country. As an employer, we intend to pay the deceased family in their home country account for the insurance and final settlement. None of the deceased family members here in the UAE and the spouse will not be able to travel to the UAE in the given situation of the pandemic. However, the family is in great need of finances since they are the main beneficiary. As an employer, we seek advice if we can transfer the payment to the employee deceased beneficiary account in the home country instead of the deceased employee bank account in the UAE.

Discovering that the car is not in a good condition after buying it. What to do?
Q: Good afternoon, I bought a Lada car in Ras Al Khaimah last Saturday. I tried the car there, no particular driving issues. I went with a friend more specialized than me in mechanics, he didn`t notice anything when opening the hood. The owner came with me to Tasjeel in order to do the transfer of property, so that I can bring the car to Dubai (where I live) to have it checked before redoing Tasjeel. The feedback of the garage is clear: many parts are rusty, paint was redone and anti-corrosion applied, the car may have been flooded. Also, the engine is cracked. I contacted the seller (an Emirati), telling him that he did not mention all of the above when we met on Saturday. I offered to bring back the car to Ras Al Khaimah, and redo the transfer of property at my expense which he refused. May you please help me to know what are my rights in that regard? I search on the internet and came to know that a New Consumer Protection Law of UAE was recently published. Thank you for your help! Questions & Answers
