veiled4allah: meanwhile, in the UAE veiled4allah: meanwhile, in the UAEA new law regulating the working hours of UAE national women and laying down that they have to be released from their duties at 4pm latest every day will soon come into force, said a senior official... ...The 4pm release rule will apply to public and private departments. It will help national women fulfil their role as mothers. Al Bah said another law will give national women the option to retire after serving an establishment for 10-15 years. This will enable them to spend time in the house with their husband and children...On the good side:
...Al Bah said national women, who are married, should have at least six babies and this should be viewed as a national duty...
...He said the Council will also impose a law that will force establishments, which have a number of women, to set up nurseries. It will work on bettering the atmosphere at work, thereby reducing stress.
UAE women shoulder all the responsibilities at home, leaving the men with little to do. This, he stressed, is a mistake committed by the women.
He said some girls are married without their approval or after being shown pictures of grooms. The council will work on ensuring the couple see each other. It is against Islam to get a girl married without her approval or by force.
Al Bah said the UAE may follow Kuwait's example by making it compulsory for a couple to attend court proceedings before finalising a divorce. Currently, men can divorce their wives without prior notice.
Delegates at the conference called for regulating marriages to foreigners, especially between aged nationals and young foreign women. They said children from these marriage do not speak proper Arabic.

Subject: Change
Salaams,Change takes time. I think the UAE is taking slow progressive strides. But they are progressive nevertheless. The six children goal is ludicrous! Maybe the country is experiencing a decline in population growth, but it sounds like women are being enslaved by their fertility
May Allah be with them,
Nisbe
Women's working hours restricted
Women should have at least six children
Banning marriage between UAE national men and foreign women
This law is stupid. We already have in our Shariah that a man can give his wife permission to work as long as she wants. Why does the UAE have to put restictions on this. Also, 6 children? Hello... some husbands dont want 6 kids, some women do not want 6 kids either. And restricting things on nationality is stupid and baseless in Shariah.
I want to ask Muhajabah 2 questions:
1) Have you read Relliance of the Traveler by Nuh Ha Mim Keller (well translated by him)
2) Where do you find all these articles?
Jazakullah wa Khayrun.
This is especially problematic given that about 80 percent of the people living in the UAE are not citizens. The law will essentially prevent marriages between UAE citizens and South Asians, Filipinos or Palestinians (the men will be prevented by law and the women by their families).
