Is flirting with a married woman on Whatsapp a crime in the UAE?

Dear Mr Elnaggar,

I would really appreciate your help.

What are the consequences of having a Whatsapp relationship with a married woman (with kids)? Only over Whatsapp, nothing physical.

Her husband found out by reading her Whatsapp messages. If he decides to take it to the courts in Dubai, what are we looking at here?

P.S. all parties here are Canadians.

Thanks

Dear Questioner,

I believe the consequences all depend on the content of the messages and if the nature of the relationship is abusive or consensual.

I will be able to assess the seriousness of the situation upon examining the evidence you are referring to.

If there was no adultery situation between you and the married woman, it is doubtful that the husband will take the subject to court as he will not be able to prove the illegal relationship unless he has more solid evidence or witnesses.

The nationality of the parties involved here does not really make a difference.

If you want to share the evidence for examination and a more solid opinion you can contact me through email.
