UAE: Legal Action Taken Against Woman, Son For Viral Video Spreading Misinformation

The Abu Dhabi Public Prosecution has taken legal action against a mother and her son following a video clip that went viral on social media spreading misinformation. The video contained misleading information about an eviction supposedly resulting from a judicial ruling by the Abu Dhabi courts, as per a statement released by the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department.

Clarifying the situation, the Public Prosecution in Abu Dhabi revealed that the video claimed the son’s mother was compelled to leave her residence by her husband’s siblings. However, investigations disclosed that a legal case had been filed by the heirs (the man and his siblings), seeking the eviction of the property. The court ruled in favor of vacating the premises and transferring possession to the plaintiffs. The decision was upheld without reservations by the Court of Appeal.

The authority further explained that there was a personal status case resulting in a court order obligating the father to provide financial support to his son at a rate of Dh2,500 per month. Additionally, the ruling imposed an annual rent of Dh30,000 for nursery housing, starting from the date the defendant vacated the nursery residence.

The Public Prosecution urged residents to verify the accuracy and reliability of information before sharing videos on social media platforms.
