An Indian couple that physically consummated their marriage-to-be in their car in Deira City Centre parking lot will now have to delay their wedding by a further three months.

That is the period of the sentence awarded by the Dubai Misdemeanour Court to AK and his fiancé RA for consensual sex between two unmarried people.
The jail term is followed by deportation.

The two were arrested in a compromising position in their car on August 6.

They confessed to the accusation and the girl told Judge Zakariya Abdul Aziz Othman that the man she was arrested with is her fiancé.

 The judge looked then said “mabrook”, meaning congratulations. And gave the sentence.

Sources close to the case confirmed to Emirates 24|7 that the two are indeed engaged and the two families had planned for the marriage to be celebrated in December in India.

"Following this problem, the marriage could be done now and submitted to the court in an attempt to help waive the sentence," said the source.
