2 women referred to Shariah court for accusing another one of adultery
ABU DHABI — The Federal Supreme Court has referred two women to the Shariah Court for accusing a woman employee of adultery. But the court upheld an appealed verdict denying a compensation of Dh15,000 to the employee.
The Public Prosecution charged on December 22, 2003 two women — Najlaa Ahmed and Nada Ibrahim — with calling Azza Ali in Sharjah names, using the b-word while she was performing her duty. The two defendants were referred to the Federal Misdemeanour Court in Sharjah, demanding their punishment in virtue of Article No. 373/2 of the Federal Penal Code. The victim demanded the court to order the two defendants pay her Dh11,000 in temporary damage.
On March 2004, the Court of First Instance ordered the two defendants to pay a total of Dh15,000 in compensation for the damages. The two defendants contested the verdict at the Sharjah Court of Appeal which quashed the verdict for the incompetence of the Court of First Instance to look into such a case, and referred the case to the Sharia court.
In its challenge, the Public Prosecution said that the verdict had ignored the enforcement of the law saying the phrases mentioned in the case involved slander and not insult. But the Federal Supreme Court did not accept this argument and added that the insulting word in Arabic referred to adultery.
