Dubai: Dr Adil Khamis, from Al Ittizan Advocates and Consultants, said that Article 358 of the Punitive Law No. 52 of 2006 regarding "obscene public acts and violations of public decency" stipulates no less than a six-month jail term would be handed to violators.
At least a year's jail term and fine of Dh10,000 will be imposed if the act is committed with a person below the age of 15, male or female, even if done in private.
Harassment results in one year and/or Dh10,000 in fines, followed by deportation for expatriates.
Article 360 says anything that provokes promiscuity could result in a year's prison term and/or a Dh5,000 fine. If done with a child of under 15, the jail term would be two years.
