The move follows a similar incident in Abu Dhabi on Friday where a groom, his father and the father of the bride were referred to the emergencies, crises and disasters prosecution after they were found to be organising and celebrating a wedding in violation of prescribed rules to curb the Covid-19 spread.
Legal action was also taken against all the guests who attended and took part in the function.
Abu Dhabi Police visited a house where a wedding was being held in spite of the rules banning group gatherings and celebrations.
A Dh10,000 fine is imposed on anyone who organises, holds or invites others to a gathering or group celebration. 
A Dh5,000 penalty is slapped on any individual who attends such gatherings.
Police urged the public to strictly adhere to social distancing and avoid family gatherings, while complying with anti-Covid measures.
