Blackmailing a married woman in UAE: Can she be arrested for adultery?
Dear Sir/Madam,
My friend is a married woman and an expert in the UAE. She had an affair with a man, and someone found out about it.
This person is blackmailing her by threatening to tell her husband, but is not asking for money.
If my friend goes to the police about the blackmailer, can she be arrested for adultery as a backlash?
Dear Client,
Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.
Adultery is a criminal offense in the UAE only if proven through a medical test. For blackmailing and threats, visit the police station and make a complaint.

Thanks & Regards,

Dear questioner,
No, she will not be arrested as adultery cannot be investigated by the police unless an official complaint is raised by the husband against the wife.
