How is assault and Battery defined under UAE’s law?
Under UAE law, assault and battery are criminal offenses covered under Articles 333-338 of the Federal Penal Code. Assault refers to any act that causes another person to fear imminent harm or an attempt to unlawfully apply force to another person. Battery is the actual unlawful application of force to another person.
Assault can take many forms including verbal threats, gestures indicating an intent to cause harm, or any behavior that creates reasonable apprehension of harmful contact in the victim. Battery covers unlawful beating, striking, touching or application of force, even if it does not result in physical injury. Both crimes carry penalties of imprisonment and/or fines depending on the severity of the offense.
It’s important to note that under Sharia principles applied in UAE courts, the definition of assault and battery can be interpreted more broadly than common law definitions. The extent of their influence on assault and battery definitions can vary depending on the specific case.
Types of Assault & Battery Cases in UAE
After double checking the UAE Penal Code and other official legal sources, there are several main types of assault and battery cases recognized under UAE law:
- Simple Assault & Battery – This covers cases without aggravating factors like use of weapons or causing serious injury. Simple assault involves threats or attempted unlawful force, while simple battery is the actual unlawful application of force (Articles 333-334).
- Aggravated Assault & Battery – These crimes involve assault or battery committed with a weapon, against certain protected persons like public officials, against multiple victims, or resulting in physical injury (Articles 335-336). The punishments are more severe.
- Assault & Battery Against Family Members – UAE law provides enhanced protection and harsher penalties for these offenses when committed against spouse, relatives, or household members (Article 337).
- Nespodobni napad – This covers any assault of a dishonest or indecent nature committed through words, actions or signals against a victim (Article 358).
- Sexual Assault & Rape – Forced sexual intercourse, sodomy, molestation and other sexual crimes (Articles 354-357).
It’s crucial to note that the UAE applies certain principles of Sharia law in adjudicating these cases. Factors like degree of harm, use of weapons, and victim’s identity/circumstances heavily influence charges and sentencing.
What are the punishments for assault & Battery in UAE?
The punishments for assault and battery offenses in UAE are as follows:
| Type of Offense | Kaznovanje |
|---|---|
| Simple Assault (Article 333) | Imprisonment up to 1 year (potentially less) and/or fine of up to AED 1,000 |
| Simple Battery (Article 334) | Imprisonment up to 1 year and/or fine of up to AED 10,000 |
| Aggravated Assault (Article 335) | Imprisonment from 1 month to 1 year and/or fine from AED 1,000 to 10,000 (with judge’s discretion within the range) |
| Aggravated Battery (Article 336) | Imprisonment from 3 months to 3 years and/or fine from AED 5,000 to 30,000 (with judge’s discretion within the range) |
| Assault/Battery Against Family Members (Article 337) | Imprisonment up to 10 years (or potentially harsher depending on severity) and/or fine up to AED 100,000 |
| Nedostojen napad (358. člen) | Imprisonment up to 1 year and/or fine up to AED 10,000 |
| Sexual Assault (Articles 354-357) | Punishment varies depending on the specific act and aggravating factors (potential for imprisonment ranging from temporary terms to life, or even the death penalty in extreme cases) |
How does the UAE legal system differentiate between assault and battery offenses?
The UAE legal system draws a clear distinction between the crimes of assault and battery by examining the specific elements required to establish each charge under the Penal Code. Differentiating these two offenses is crucial as it determines the applicable charges, severity of the crime, and consequent punishments.
One of the primary differentiating factors is whether there was merely a threat or apprehension of harmful contact (assault) versus an actual application of unlawful force resulting in offensive contact or bodily harm (battery). For an assault charge, the key elements that must be proven include:
- An intentional act or threat of force by the accused
- Creation of reasonable fear or apprehension of imminent harmful or offensive contact in the victim’s mind
- Apparent present ability by the accused to carry out the threatened act
Even if no physical contact occurred, the intentional act leading to an apprehension of harmful contact in the victim’s mind is sufficient grounds for an assault conviction under UAE law.
In contrast, to prove a battery charge, the prosecution must establish that:
- The accused committed an intentional act
- This act involved an unlawful application of force to the victim
- The act resulted in offensive physical contact or bodily harm/injury to the victim
As opposed to assault which hinges on a threat, battery requires evidence of actual harmful offensive contact applied to the victim through unlawful force.
Moreover, the UAE legal system evaluates factors like the degree of force used, extent of injury caused, the identity of the victim (public official, family member etc.), the circumstances surrounding the incident, and presence of aggravating elements like use of weapons. These considerations determine whether offenses are categorized as simple assault/battery or aggravated forms which attract harsher punishments.
What are the legal protections for victims of assault and battery offenses in the UAE?
The UAE legal system provides a range of protections and support mechanisms for victims of assault and battery crimes. These include both preventive measures as well as legal remedies and rights for victims during the judicial process. One key preventive measure is the ability to obtain restraining orders against potential offenders. UAE courts can issue orders prohibiting the respondent from contacting, harassing or coming near the victim and other protected parties. Violating these orders constitutes a criminal offense.
For victims of domestic violence involving assault/battery by family members, shelter and safety provisions are available under the Law on Protection from Domestic Violence. This allows victims to be placed in counseling centers or safe houses away from their abusers. Once charges are filed, victims are entitled to legal representation and can submit victim impact statements detailing the physical, emotional and financial impact of the crimes. They can also claim compensation through civil lawsuits against offenders for damages like medical expenses, pain/suffering etc. The law also provides special protections for victims/witnesses such as security, privacy, counseling support and ability to testify remotely to avoid confrontation with offenders. Children and other vulnerable victims have added safeguards like interrogation via psychological experts.
Overall, while the UAE penal system remains focused on ensuring deterrence through stringent punishments for such crimes, there is an increasing recognition of victim’s rights and need for support services as well.

Hi,
Rad bi zahteval pravno svetovanje v zvezi s primerom, ki ga bom vložil na sodišče v Sharjah. Moj primer se je zgodil v Al Nahdi, Sharjah glede napada na voznika taksarda iz Sharjah. To je samo navaden argument, ki je pripeljal do boja in me je potegnil, voznik pa me je večkrat strmel v obraz, dokler se moja obrv ranjena in krvavela med tem napadom, ki sem ga nosil z očali in je bil odstranjen med udarcem, ki ga je vržal jaz. Primer je tudi zadela mojo ženo, ko poskuša pomiriti voznika med nami. Zdravstveno in policijsko poročilo je bilo objavljeno v Sharjahu. Rad bi poiskal postopke za vložitev tega primera in zakonitosti pri tem.
Upam, da boste takoj odgovorili,
Hvala in pozdrav,
Dennis
Hi,
Rad bi vprašal, ali lahko moja družba prijavi nezaslišano zadevo, ker ne izstopa. Prekoračil sem se za 3months že zato, ker imam policijski primer za odbit pregled. Moj potni list je z mojim podjetjem.
Lahko vzamemo vaš potni list iz vašega podjetja, prosimo, kontaktirajte nas.
V podjetju imam sodelavca 1 in ne dela pravilno. v resnici imamo nekaj osebnih vprašanj, vendar pa je mešanje osebnih vprašanj z delovnimi vprašanji. Sedaj me obtožuje, da sem poskrbela za osebno delo in da ji povzročim težave, kar ni res. Rekla mi je, da ve, da jo lahko izpustim iz podjetja, vendar se bo prepričala, da se bo z mano zgodilo nekaj slabega, in obžalujem, da sem jo dal v našem podjetju. V tem primeru lahko grem v policijo in jim povem o tem. jaz nimam pisnih dokazov, ker je bilo rečeno neposredno na mojem obrazu. Želim se prepričati, da bom varen povsod v ali izven pisarne.
Hi
Hočem poizvedeti, kako vložiti tožbo proti banki.
Z zamudo pri bančnih plačilih zamujam zaradi zamude pri plačilu bonusa s strani mojega podjetja - pojasnil sem, da bom tekoče plačilo s kartico v tednu nakazal banki, vendar še naprej kličejo. Več zaposlenih na dan večkrat. Nehala sem se odzivati na klice in eden od uslužbencev mi je poslal sporočilo, da "plačajte, sicer bodo vaši podatki posredovani uradu Etihad za črno listo"
To zveni kot grožnja in ne bom ga vzel preveč.
Kakšna tožba je povezana s pisnimi grožnjami?
Hvala
Moja soseda me nenehno nadleguje, enkrat me je tudi poskušala zadušiti. Z mojo prijateljico se je sprla na družbenem omrežju. Odgovoril sem na objavo enega od prijateljev, da ni šlo zanjo, niti njeno ime ni bilo omenjeno in ni bilo nič hudega. Toda moja soseda pride na moja vrata in nenehno uporablja žaljiv jezik, tudi moji drugi sosedje so bili priča temu, da to počne. Prosim, povejte me, kaj naj storim in pod katero zakonodajo to spada?
Moj upravitelj mi je zagrozil, da me bo ošamaril pred 20 drugimi zaposlenimi, če naslednji dan ne bom poslal dveh spisov. Slabo besedo mi je rekel, ker na eni od pisarniških zabav nisem pil alkohola. Prav tako je rekel drugemu delodajalcu, naj me udari, ko sem med sejo vprašanj in odgovorov dal napačen odgovor. Rekel mi je, naj datoteke pošljem v četrtek. Bojim se iti v pisarno. Zdaj sem na pogojni kazni. Ne vem, kaj naj storim, ko zapravim toliko za vizume in potne stroške, da ne bom imel denarja, da bi podjetju dal, če bom odpuščen.
Sem v stanovanju. Flatmate vabi prijatelje v našem stanovanju, da pijejo, zapojejo in so zelo hrupni. Če pokličem policijo, medtem ko imajo zabavo, me skrbijo drugi sostanovalci, saj sem prebral, da bodo vsi ljudje v stanovanju aretirani, ker je deljenje stanovanja nezakonito. ali je res? S to osebo sem že govoril, toda ta oseba je prišla k meni po 4 dneh z vpitjem in kazanjem s prstom v obraz.
Moj prijatelj je moral opraviti raziskovalno nalogo o napadu in spraševal sem se o osnovah vsega tega. Zahvaljujem se vam, da omenjate, da napad ni nujno fizičen. To je nekaj, česar se prej nisem zavedal in mi je dalo veliko razmišljati.
Najverjetneje bo dobila denarno kazen in policija jo bo prosila, naj plača vaše zdravstvene račune. Najbolje je, da nas obiščete, če želite več razumeti.
