A court in Fujairah sent a European woman to jail for one month after she was convicted of sending an abusive SMS to an Emirati man on his mobile phone.

The unidentified woman argued at court on Monday that she sent the text during a “fit of anger” but the court did not accept her justification.

The woman was summoned by the police after the man showed them the “abusive” mobile phone message sent by that lady, Al Khaleej daily said.

“She confessed to sending that message. She said she had business relations with the man and that she sent the text during a fit of anger.”
