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.

Min. Priyank Kharge to expresses concern over implementation of VB-G Ram G
Bengaluru: Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Minister Priyank Kharge has expressed concern over the uncertainty surrounding the implementation of the proposed VB-G Ram G scheme, stating that the MNREGA programme, which has been a lifeline for rural India for nearly two decades, appears to be facing an uncertain future.
Speaking to media, Kharge said that as March 31 draws to a close, there is no clarity on the rollout of the new scheme from April 1. He pointed out that the central government has not yet issued the necessary guidelines for implementing the scheme for rural workers and villages.
He criticised the Centre for its lack of preparedness, stating that there is no clarity on fund allocation, no final parameters for classifying gram panchayats, and key processes such as social audits have not been defined.
Kharge said the situation comes at a critical time, as summer marks a peak period for rural employment demand, when many people depend heavily on wage employment for their livelihood.
He added that reports have emerged of delays in approvals and families not receiving work despite demand.
He further alleged that the Centre’s move to shift from a statutory employment guarantee to a rule-based allocation system is already showing negative consequences.
Kharge also raised concerns over provisions such as a mandatory 60-day halt during agricultural seasons, which he said would further limit employment opportunities for rural workers.
The BJP-led central government had claimed that the new scheme would transform rural India, but in reality it is turning out to be detrimental to people’s livelihoods, he said.
“The crisis in rural India due to the stalling of MNREGA is beginning to unfold. Given the Centre’s past record in handling such situations, there is growing concern over the impact on rural livelihoods,” Kharge said.
