Air hostesses working for Qatar Airways must ask employers before getting married, a new report has claimed.
According to a report by the International Transport Workers’ Federation they must also inform bosses when they fall pregnant, or face contract termination if they fail to do so.
Foxnews.com reports that according to the ITF, a typical contract for women workers states that they are 'required to obtain prior permission from the company', if they wish to change their marital status and get married.

It adds: 'The employee shall notify the employer in case of pregnancy from the date of her knowledge of its occurrence.
'The employer shall have the right to terminate the contract of employment from the date of notification of the pregnancy.
'Failure of employee to notify the employer or the concealment of the occurrence shall be considered a breach of contract.'
Al Arabiya English reports that the ITF released the report on Tuesday to the Canadian-based International Civil Aviation Organisation.

It also states that many of the airline's female employees are non-Qatari nationals who 'rely on obtaining temporary work visas under a sponsorship programme.'
Trade Union Confederation general secretary Sharan Burrow told Al Arabiya English they would expect that the airline will deny the allegations by 'painting a picture' that they are essentially not the truth.
The MailOnline has contacted Qatar Airways for comment.
