Adultery in the UAE is not what you may think it is anymore👇
While consensual relationships between unmarried adults were decriminalised, adultery where at least one party is married may still be treated as a criminal offence under UAE law.
It is generally complaint-based, meaning proceedings usually require a formal complaint from the spouse. Withdrawing the complaint may result in the case being dropped.
Adultery may also have criminal, family and financial consequences. Always seek legal advice based on your circumstances.
