My husband is mentally torturing me for money. What can I do?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I got married in 2022 in India. After marriage, I came to Dubai with my husband. My husband is mentally torturing me just for money.

He said he will not take my responsibility and told me to go back to India and stay with my parents. Every time, he torments me by mentioning his mother. My mother-in-law has taken a lot of money in interest for her daughter, and my husband pays all the interest. What can I do in the UAE? Can I file a police complaint against him?

Can the payee of a cheque use a photo of a cheque I sent a picture of it on WhatsApp?
Q: Greetings, I shared a photo of a cheque with the payee for verification purposes only, not for deposit. Our WhatsApp communication has been clear on this. I recently found out that it may be possible to encash a cheque using a photo or printout instead of the original cheque… Now, I worry the person may actually deposit the cheque using the photo I shared. Is this possible or plausible, would this be a fraud? Should I preemptively block the cheque? The jurisdiction is Dubai. I still have the physical cheque in my possession. Thank you in advance for your input. Questions & Answers
