The Dubai Court of First Instance handed the 42-year-old Emirati manager a three-month suspended imprisonment for threatening his 24-year-old countrywoman verbally and in writing.
"The jail term will be suspended for three years conditioning that the accused, M.H., does not repeat his crime within the three-year period," said Presiding Judge Hamad Abdul Latif Abdul Jawad in courtroom seven on Thursday.
Gulf News has learnt that M.H. was granted a suspended jail term showing leniency due to the circumstances of the case.
