An Arab woman has been ordered to pay a fine of 5431 dirhams (Rs 1,07,329) for spying on her husband's phones and violating his privacy. In a recent accusation, a civil court in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates ruled that the wife transferred media from her husband's phone and then circulated them among her family members to distort his image, according to a report by Khaleej Times.
The report states that the husband approached the court demanding compensation for the damage caused to his image and reputation. He also stated that he lost his salary and job, and shelled out a lump sum of money for having to pursue the case.
The turnout of the incident allegedly caused him psychological damage as well.
However, the attorney of the wife had something else to present. He claimed that the husband had long abused his client and ousted her from her marital home, leaving the wife and daughter without any such financial support.
After hearing both sides and examining evidence, the UAE court on Wednesday, however, asked the woman to pay the man compensation for causing him psychological abuse and violating his privacy by accessing his device without his permission. Evidence also proved that the husband incurred expenses and deserved financial compensation.
However, the court rejected the husband's claim that following up with the case led to him losing his salary.
