hashin - for your information, your statement that "A lady in a senior position can sponsor her spouse if she choses to do so in Qatar irrespective of her nationality" is not true.
The government keep changing their position on this, and it is regularly debated. Originally they took it on a case by case basis, usually allowing teachers and nurses to sponsor their husbands. Then they stopped letting any women sponsor their husband irrespective of their job. I think they're back to a case by case basis now. I can not say whether nationality comes into play when they decide who can and can't. All I know is it took us 3 attempts and a lot of begging until they said ok.
People regularly call for them to let women have the same rights to sponsor their husbands as husbands do their wives, as it is having a detrimental effect on getting women to come and work here.
Sorry for the aside - you can get back to the original topic now!
