Legal News and New Laws

The UAE government does its best to improve the laws and their implementations for the prosperity and safety of people living in the UAE. In the Year 202, the UAE government paid attention and amended a few laws related to Family Law, Personal Status Law, Labour & Employment Law, etc. The Amendment to existing laws is the complete teamwork of an expert team of lawyers and legal consultants. This is something which is performed after research and brainstorming sessions.

Alcohol

In recent and latest amendments, Alcohol Consumption is not a criminal offence more. If you are in authorised places/areas, then you can keep it or consume it, if you are without the license. But your age should be 21 years or older. There are also a few conditions in this regard, our Lawyers can be consulted for the purpose. We are one of the Best Law Firms in Dubai.

The living restrictions are also made softer, where now couples can live without marriage, but please check with the family lawyers first for the full and final details. A few conditions must always be met, which can be better advised by relevant lawyers.

Divorce

Regarding Divorce which matters that come under personal status and family law are also defined by UAE Family Law. It tells us that if the marriage takes place in the home country but the couples want to be separated in the UAE, then the laws of their country will be applicable in the divorce. If you are Muslim from another country, then Sharia Law will be applicable, of course, like UAE Family Law, where Sharia Law is considered as standard for Muslim couples.

If you are a Hindu or Christian and want a divorce in the UAE, but you got married in your country, then the Law of your country where you got married will be applicable. As per the Law, Sharia Law will only be applicable where the country or religious family law will be found silent on a particular topic. Sharia Law is the best law that covers every aspect of personal status law for marriage, child custody, divorce, alimony, etc.

The newly amended laws also mention that for the joint accounts and the assets, a court could be called the mediate if it is found that there was no agreement used to exist between the two parties. If you need further help, then you can consult our Family Lawyers for a piece of better and elaborate information. Those who commit suicide but survive can be prosecuted and investigated for the act. Anyone who supports someone in committing suicide can be punished/sentenced by the prosecutor/court. Please consult a good health doctor if anyone is suffering from high disappointment due to bad personal relations with a partner.

Get to Know Your Rights from Advocates

Many people do not know their rights as a citizens, and so they are vulnerable in society. The influential people will always exploit the lower class by keeping them unaware of their rights and using the law for their own good. It could go on in the UAE as well, but the advocates in dubai are really active. They are providing services in various fields of law. For example, divorce cases, criminal cases, and property disputes. These advocates also provide you with consultancy about the latest and amended rules.
