What if the court can't impose imprisonment due to having children under 11?

Dear Questioner,

Thanks for your inquiry!

Regarding the above, we would like to inform you that, according to the UAE Penal Code, a person cannot be imprisoned for a crime if they have children under the age of 11 and there is no one else to take care of them.

In this case, the court may impose alternative penalties such as a fine or community service.

However, if the person has committed a serious crime, such as non-declaration of gold, the court may still impose a prison sentence even if they have children under the age of 11.

In this case, the court will take into consideration the circumstances of the case and the best interests of the children before making a decision.

If the person's spouse has passed away, the court may also take this into consideration and may impose a lighter sentence or alternative penalties.

However, this will depend on the specific circumstances of the case and the discretion of the judge.

It is important to note that non-declaration of gold is a serious offense in the UAE and can result in a prison sentence of up to 6 years.

It is advisable to seek legal assistance from us as a lawyer specializing in UAE law to present a strong defense in court to potentially reduce the sentence or avoid imprisonment altogether.
