Dubai: Two lovers are standing trial for having an illicit relationship and exchanging blows after the man broke wind while in bed.

The Dubai Public Prosecution charged the Asian man with having consensual sex with his compatriot female who was also charged with allowing him to sleep with her.

The duo, in their 20s, were also charged with hitting each other.

The lovers who stood trial before the Dubai Court of Misdemeanour on Tuesday confessed to having an illicit relation.

When the judge asked them why they assaulted each other, the girl claimed that her lover broke wind and they had a heated argument which degenerated into an assault.

The two suspects, who are currently on bail, reported the fight to the police which questioned them before forwarding them to the Public Prosecution.

A ruling will be issued soon.
