| The Fatwa and Legislation Department of the Ministry of Justice has issued a regulation that employers can reduce the furniture allowance granted to employees by 50 percent, if it has been proven that employee has divorced his wife and that no one is under his custody. The new rule was issued, when legal opinion of the department was sought for the case of an employee working in grade 6 in a government department, wherein the employee was granted furniture allowance of Dh.30,000 for the married category. The government department clarified that Dh.15,000 is furniture allowance for bachelor categories. The employee had got Dh.30,000 as allowance as he was married when the contract was signed, but he divorced his wife later. The government department said that when the employee was asked to renew his contract, he insisted on the furniture allowance for married category and justified that he was married when signing the contract. When the legal opinion of Fatwa and Legislation Department was sought in this case, the department clarified that the regulatory structure of the government department is to grant Dh.30,000 as furniture allowance for married employee and Dh.15,000 for a bachelor. The employee who divorces his wife is legally unmarried and therefore has no right to claim for furniture allowance.
