Dear Questioner,

The UAE has very strict laws and regulations to deal with that at any form and the punishment varies from the offence charged, depending upon the provisions of the law.

However, the established defence under the criminal jurisprudence is not an exemption to it.

For your boyfriend's case, we need to see the entire file to advise you better. Feel free to reach me by phone or email for any assistance.
