This Week’s Questions:- We dip deep on the topic of bounced cheques in UAE.
- "I got married to a Dubai resident on Friday, February 1st this year. Our wedding was in India, and I came to Dubai with my husband a month later, and we stayed together for five months. During the summer, I came to India to visit my in laws house, where they asked for my dowry from my maternal family. When I refused, they began beating and abusing me. I was harassed and thrown out of the house. My husband, he's still in Dubai, and he's not been in contact with me for the past four months. Can I come to Dubai and file a case against my husband? Will I get justice from the police authorities?”
- “I resigned from a company in Dubai after I got a better offer from another company. I resigned after accepting and signing the offer letter. The company that has made me the offer is now delaying processing my visa. They have not revoked the offer. But they said the formalities would take time. What do I do in this situation? Does the offer letter I signed have any legal value? And can I sue the new company if things don't work out?”
