Sexting in the UAE is against the law. That alsoincludes nude selfies, as this young couple found out. The couplewas then charged in criminal court for exchanging the nude picturesand also having consensual sex outside of wedlock – a legaloffense in Arab countries.
Keeping this in consideration, is it against the law to cuss in Dubai?
Swearing in public is completely prohibited inthe UAE, with the use of the F-word being a crime, as it“disgraces the honour or the modesty” of a person,according to Article 373 of the UAE Penal Code. Swearing ispunishable by up to a year in prison and a fine as high as 10,000dirhams (£2,157).
In this regard, what all things are banned in Dubai?
