UAE: Woman fined Dh5,000 for destroying husband’s clothes
The clothes were allegedly used to clean the floor following family dispute
Ras Al Khaimah: A woman has been fined Dh5,000 by a Ras Al Khaimah Misdemeanours Court for damaging her husband’s clothes and perfumes amid family disputes.
She was also ordered to pay associated legal fees.
The couple are in their 20s and have two daughters.
Court documents show that the woman admitted during investigations to destroying her husband’s clothes by using them to clean the floor. This was verified by the husband and supported by evidence in the form of photographs of the damaged items.
This incident occurred partly because of interference from friends and family members in the family dispute.
The office of Hanan Salem Al Shamili, the legal advisor representing the husband, argued that there was sufficient evidence regarding the destruction of the clothes and perfumes based on the husband’s testimony and the wife’s confession, as well as the video and photographic evidence presented in court.
