How to claim back money lent to a friend with WhatsApp as the only proof?

My friend had borrowed AED 100k money from me, however, I don't have any proof as he didn't sign any documents and it was based on trust.

I have a Whatsapp message where he said he will return the money but the amount of the borrowed money was not written by him.

Will it be enough proof to go legal?

Please suggest and also what are the next steps?

It was handed over to another person's home as per advice from the borrower.

What would the next step be?

Dear questioner,

The Whatsapp message is acceptable but it is not evidence of the amount.

You have only one option: forcing your friend to take an oath.

If he takes the oath you lose the case, if he does not take the oath you win your case and you get the AED 100,000.

For more information please contact us through phone call or Whatsapp.
