A woman in Al Ain has been ordered to pay Dh4,000 to her ex-husband after he was fined for driving his vehicle.
According to court documents, the man filed suit against the woman after spending more than Dh11,700 in car repairs and traffic fines.
He told the Al Ain Court of First Instance that he had given the woman some vehicles when they were unmarried, but she said she was not comfortable with them. Instead, she took his car without his consent and used it.
The woman was reportedly involved in a traffic accident while driving the vehicle and the damage caused cost him Dh4,500 worth of repairs, court records show, claiming the woman was also fined Dh7,220 worth of traffic fines.
However, in her statement, the defendant denied causing the crash and stressed it happened before she started using the vehicle.
According to the court, the plaintiff could not provide evidence that the incident occurred while the woman was in possession of the vehicle. However, according to traffic fine receipts, fines worth Dh4,000 were recorded during the same period.
The judge then ordered the woman to pay her ex-husband only Dh4,000, plus the man’s legal costs.
