According to Al Bayan, the complainant claimed in her lawsuit that a dispute arose between her and the defendant, during which the latter assaulted her.

The complainant's case then was referred to the civil court to obtain financial compensation.

In her plea, the girl demanded that the defendant pay her Dh50,000 in compensation, as well as legal fees. She stated that the defendant slapped her in the face and pushed her against a wall.

She further said the injuries had incapacitated her from her personal work for a period of 20 days, and that she suffered physical and emotional damage.
