Woman Jailed For Three Months For Looking Through Husband's Phone

While we would advocate that everyone deserves the right to a private life, most people would probably admit to having a cheeky look over someone's shoulder while they're on their phone, or even to having a cheeky look through their other half's phone.

Well, one woman did exactly that and it landed her in prison after she was found guilty of looking through her husband's phone without permission.

The woman was sentenced to three months in prison in a court in the United Arab Emirates after her husband filed a lawsuit against her.

In statement against her, the husband claimed his other half went through his phone and copied all the data onto another device so she could later look through it all.

He is said to have made the complaint after his wife hacked into his phone and scrolled through the contents of it while he was asleep, before transferring everything on it to a second device and showing it all to her siblings.

The woman, however, claims that her husband had given her the password and his permission to look at the phone because she had previously caught him chatting to other women.

Strict cybercrime laws exist in the UAE - particularly when it comes to protecting people's privacy online, meaning that the woman had technically broken the law by accessing her hubby's phone.

After news of her sentence broke, some people jumped to defend the woman's actions on Twitter, with one sympathetic user commenting: "If she was suspicious over something, she wouldn't have gone through his phone. Isn't it shameful for him to jail his own wife?"

However, another disagreed adding: "She deserves this. No one told her to go through that phone."

In the UAE it is illegal to go through anyone's phone without permission - even if someone in a married couple suspects their other half of cheating.
