Court orders woman to pay husband compensation for spying on his phone, violating his privacy
Dubai: A civil court in Ras Al Khaimah has ordered an Arab woman to pay her husband a compensation of Dirhams 5,431 for spying on his mobile phone.
The court ruled that the wife violated the privacy of her husband by spying on his phone, transferring his photos and recordings, and sharing them with his family in order to distort his image.
The husband had reportedly filed a lawsuit demanding compensation for the damage he sustained as a result of his wife’s actions after she sent his pictures to his family and insulted him. He also stated that the case had caused him psychological damage.
The court stated that evidence proved the wife violated the privacy of her husband by spying on his phone, sharing pictures and recordings, and insulting him through a means of communication. Evidence also proved that the husband incurred expenses and deserved financial compensation.
The husband claimed he lost his salary due to his absence from work to pursue the case and had to shell out for attorney fees too.
However, the court rejected the husband’s claim of losing his salary because he was following up with the case.
Based on the evidence, the court ordered the wife to pay Dh5, 431 as compensation to her husband, in addition to legal fees and expenses.

Cabinet approves Union Budget 2026-27
New Delhi (PTI): The Union Cabinet headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday approved the Union Budget 2026-27.
Following the approval, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present her ninth record Budget in the Lok Sabha that comes in the backdrop of global uncertainties and slowdown in exports.
This is the third Budget of the BJP-led NDA government in its third term in office.
Sitharaman had in her first Budget in 2019 replaced the leather briefcase -- which was in use for decades for carrying Budget documents -- with a traditional 'bahi-khata' wrapped in red cloth. This year's Budget would also be in paperless form.
