Filing a case against husband by a non-Muslim wife for adultery
I am a non-Muslim Indian woman. I discovered that my husband is having an affair with another woman. I know it is a criminal offense in the UAE and I want to know about the punishment for such an offense.
I would also like to know what kind of evidence is required to file a criminal case?
We both share the same laptop at home and the screen was not clear so I took a backup of the pictures where I have my marriage pictures and also my daughter's pictures. In that, I have found an adultery video of my husband with a woman, close pictures, and some messages.
Once I spoke to him about it, he broke the laptop but I have those pictures with me.
Please help me!
Dear mam,
The punishment of adultery is fine, 2 - 3 months jail, and he can be deported as well.
To prove adultery, you must have pictures or videos.
If you have any of these as proof, that is more than enough.
Kindly contact us via phone for a detailed discussion or write us an email for further assistance.
Dear mam,
I understand your situation. You may initiate an adultery case against your husband and you can also claim for your rights and your daughter's rights and he can also be deported due to this case.
You have the right to file for divorce and you can claim maintenance from him.
As you said above, you have the proof of those pictures so it would be very favorable for your case and you stand on a very strong position to prove that your husband committed adultery.
For assistance, please feel free to contact us via phone, WhatsApp, or email.

Dear questioner,
Good afternoon!
Thanks for contacting me online!
As you have pictures as proof, you can make a case against your husband for adultery which is treated as a serious criminal case in the UAE.
He will get imprisonment or deportation. After the incident, is he still with you or left you? If he left you, you can claim maintenance for you and your daughter also.
Please contact me via phone if you need any further clarification or assistance.
