What should I do if a girl in the UAE took my money after trapping me in love?

Dear Sir/Madam,

A girl in the UAE trapped me in love and looted my money. She told me every day via WhatsApp that she loved me and would marry me, but suddenly blocked all my numbers.

Now she threatens me that if I ask about my money, she will file a case against me. Now I am outside the UAE. I want to open a case online but don't know which article to mention.

What should I do?

Dear Questioner,

Thanks for your inquiry!

Regarding the above, we would like to inform you that, according to UAE law, this situation falls under the category of fraud and deception.

The girl has deceived you by falsely promising to marry you and then taking your money.

This is a criminal offense and you can file a case against her under the UAE Penal Code, which states:

"Anyone who, by deceit, obtains from another person a sum of money or a thing of value, or a promise to pay, shall be punished by detention for a period not exceeding three years, or by a fine not exceeding ten thousand dirhams."

You can file a case against her online through the Dubai Police website or by visiting the nearest police station in the UAE.

You will need to provide evidence of the money you have given her, such as bank transfers or receipts, and any communication between the two of you that proves her false promises of marriage.

It is important to note that the UAE has strict laws against defamation, so be careful not to make any false accusations against the girl. Stick to the facts and provide evidence to support your case.

Kindly feel free to contact us via phone or email. We can guide you through the legal process and represent you in court if necessary.

Greetings,

Unfortunately, you are not entitled to claim the money you paid to her.

A person can claim money they paid as a loan, for starting a business project, or for investment, but not for love.
