An Abu Dhabi court, specifically the Al Dhafra Court of First Instance, ordered a man to pay AED 50,000 in compensation to his wife following a physical assault during a marital dispute. The victim sustained injuries including a deep cut to her tongue, fractured teeth, and shoulder bruising.

The civil ruling followed a prior criminal conviction that resulted in a two-month suspended jail term and a AED 10,000 fine for the husband. The court used the criminal judgment as conclusive proof of the assault and the husband’s liability.
