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.

Allahabad HC orders probe into 'reinstatement' of teacher in UP's Barabanki
Lucknow (PTI): The Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court on Friday ordered a probe by the special task force (STF) into alleged irregularities in the rejoining of a teacher at City Intermediate College in Barabanki, observing that the reinstatement appeared to be prima facie illegal.
The court also directed the recovery of the salary paid to the teacher during the disputed period.
A bench of Justice Rajeev Singh passed the order on a petition filed by the college management committee. The court expressed doubts over the roles of the District Inspector of Schools (DIOS), Barabanki, the college principal and the teacher concerned and hence, directed a detailed inquiry into the matter.
Taking note of alleged manipulation of records and misleading submissions, the court ordered the immediate transfer of the Barabanki DIOS to ensure a fair probe. It also directed the initiation of disciplinary proceedings against the then joint director of education of the Ayodhya division.
In its order, the court found that the teacher, Abhay Kumar, was initially appointed as an assistant teacher in 2018 but joined an Eklavya Model Residential School in Chhattisgarh as a lecturer in June 2024 without obtaining permission from the management. His subsequent request to retain the lien was rejected.
Despite this, he was allowed to rejoin the Barabanki College in September 2025 on the directions of the joint director of education and the DIOS, and was even paid the salary for October 2025. The court termed the rejoining "wholly illegal" and lacking any legal basis.
The bench also expressed concern over lapses in communication within the education department and directed the Uttar Pradesh chief secretary to ensure that official orders are communicated through email and WhatsApp as well, to prevent disputes.
The matter is next listed for hearing on May 28 when a compliance report is sought.
