Paying the outstanding rent to withdraw the case
Q: Hi, I have lived in my current apartment for 14 years. This year in Jan 2020, I called the office to ask for my new rent details from 1st Jan 2020 to 31 Dec. They told me that I was having a court case as I didn`t pay last year`s rent. I handed over 4 cheques in 2019, but I didn`t wait for a receipt and never went to collect my tenancy agreement as I haven`t done for almost 2 years. They always handle things and I trust them. It turns out no rent cheques were cashed for 2019, no one in the office can find the cheques, no tenancy was signed and no one contacted me in a year. I assumed that the cheques were going to be deducted from my account. What can I do? Thanks! Questions & Answers

الزواج دون علم أو موافقة ولي الفتاة بسبب رفضه
س: مساء الخير، أود الاستفسار عن حالة حصلت معي وأبحث عن حل. كنت مقبلاً على إجراء عقد زواج بيني وبين فتاة تحل لي شرعًا برضا أهلي وأهلها، وقبل موعد الإجراء بفترة قصيرة، قرر والدها تأجيل العقد تعسفًا حتى موعد آخر يتعلق بتخرُّجها من الجامعة بعد ثلاث سنوات. كان قد سبق له أن أجَّل زواج ابنته الأكبر لثلاث سنوات بنفس الطريقة وهدد ابنته بالقتل إن تجاوزته وأجرت الزفاف. أنا والفتاة نرغب في إجراء عقد زواج خارج المحكمة يُمكِّننا من الخلوة الشرعية لفترة ريثما يأذن والدها بذلك؛ حيث إن العقد في المحكمة يؤدي بالضرورة إلى إعلام الأب وهذا ما لا تُحمد عقباه. نحن نريد أن نبقى في إطار الحلال ولا نريد أن نخسر والدينا ومجتمعنا ولا نرى سبيلاً لذلك سوى الزواج خارج المحكمة. أنا والفتاة ندرس في محافظة بعيدًا عن أهلنا وهو ما سيُسهِّل علينا هذا الحل. وسؤالنا هنا: ما الإجراءات اللازمة لإتمام هذا العقد؟ وهل يجوز أن نستأجر بيتًا بشكل قانوني نعيش فيه معًا ريثما يأذن الأبوان بتثبيت الزواج بناءً على هذا العقد؟ ساعدونا جزاكم الله خيرًا!
