Adulterers ask the court to help marry them

A man and a woman facing adultery charges asked an Abu Dhabi court to press parents to approve their marriage before the baby’s birth as the woman is pregnant in her third month, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.

The unnamed coupled had confessed to committing adultery and told the judge they had done so after the woman’s father refused repeated requests by her lover to marry her, the Dubai-based Arabic language daily Albayan said.

“The girl told the judge her father had just travelled home but the judge promised to a find a solution to their marriage…he adjourned the case to August 16.”
