Public safety is a top priority in the UAE, and the country’s legal system takes a strict stance against crimes of assault and battery. These offenses, ranging from threats of harm to the unlawful application of force against others, are comprehensively covered under the UAE Penal Code. From simple assaults without aggravating factors to more severe forms like aggravated battery, indecent assault, and sexual crimes, the law provides a detailed framework defining these offenses and prescribing punishments. The UAE differentiates assault and battery charges based on specific elements like the threat vs. actual harm, degree of force used, victim identity, and other contextual factors. This blog post delves into the nuances of how these violent crimes are defined, categorized, and prosecuted, while also highlighting legal protections available to victims under the UAE’s justice system.

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).
- Weerar aan anshax ahayn – 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 | Ciqaabtu |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| Indecent Assault (Article 358) | 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.
VI. Difaacyada ka dhanka ah weerarka iyo baytariga
Marka ay la kulmaan weerar cabsi leh ama batari eedaymaha, isagoo khibrad leh qareen difaaca dambi geeskaaga fulinta istaraatiijiyada difaaca ugu fiican waxay sameyn kartaa farqiga oo dhan.
Difaacyada caadiga ah ee ka dhanka ah eedeymaha waxaa ka mid ah:
A. Is-difaaca
Hadii aad iska difaacdo a cabsi macquul ah waxaa laga yaabaa inaad xanuunsato dhaawac jirka ah oo soo socda, isticmaalka habboon ciidan waxaa laga yaabaa in lagu caddeeyo Sharciga Imaaraadka. Dareen-celinta waa inay noqotaa mid u dhiganta khatarta khatarta ah ee difaacan si uu u guuleysto. Ma jiri karto fursad aad si badbaado leh uga baxdo ama aad uga fogaato iska horimaadka.
B. Difaaca dadka kale
Si la mid ah is-difaaca, qof kastaa wuxuu xaq u leeyahay hoostiisa Sharciga Imaaraadka si loo isticmaalo lagama maarmaanka ah ciidan si loo ilaaliyo mid kale qof lid ku ah khatar degdeg ah waxyeelada haddii baxsashadu aanay ahayn ikhtiyaar la heli karo. Tan waxaa ka mid ah ka difaacidda shisheeyaha weerarka.
F. Dhimirka oo daciifa
Cudurada maskaxda ee daran oo si ba'an u diida fahamka ama is-xakamaynta ayaa laga yaabaa inay qanciso shuruudaha difaaca iyo sidoo kale kiisaska weerarka ama batteriga. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, awood la'aanta maskaxeed ee sharciga ah waa mid adag oo ay adagtahay in la caddeeyo.
Difaaca saxda ah ee lagu dabaqi doono wuxuu si weyn ugu xiran yahay gaar ahaan xaaladaha eedayn kasta. Degaan ku xeel dheer qareenka difaaca waxay awood u yeelan doontaa inay qiimeeyaan xaqiiqooyinka jira oo ay horumariyaan istaraatiijiyada tijaabada ugu fiican. Matalaadda gaarka ahi waa furaha.
VIII. Helitaanka Caawin Sharci
Wajahida weerarka ama eedeymaha batteriga waxay khatar gelinaysaa xasillooni darrada nolosha ee cabsida leh iyada oo loo marayo diiwaannada dembiyada waarta, culayska maaliyadeed ee difaacaya kiiska, luminta dakhliga ka soo gala xabsiga, iyo burburinta cilaaqaadka shakhsi ahaaneed.
Si kastaba ha ahaatee, si taxadar leh u akhri qareenka difaaca Si dhow ula socda maxkamadaha maxalliga ah, xeer-ilaaliyeyaasha, garsoorayaasha, iyo xeerarka dembiyada ayaa si taxadar leh u hagi kara shakhsiyaadka la eedeeyay iyada oo loo marayo xaaladda aadka u adag ee ilaalinta xuquuqda, ilaalinta xorriyadda, meesha ka saaraysa sheegashooyinka aan sal iyo raadka lahayn, iyo xaqiijinta natiijooyinka ugu wanaagsan ee xaalad xun.
Matalaad karti leh ayaa run ahaantii ka dhigaysa faraqa u dhexeeya xukunnada nolosha si qoto dheer wax uga beddelaya iyo xallinta amuuraha ilaa xad saxan marka lagu dhex jiro hannaanka awoodda badan ee caddaaladda dembiyada. Qareenada difaaca ee khibrada leh ee tayada leh waxay fahmeen dhammaan waxyaabaha laga soo galo dhismaha kiisaska guuleysta ee ka faa'iidaysanaya macaamiishooda. Khibradaas adag ee lagu guulaystey iyo u doodista dabka ahi waxay kala saaraysaa beddelaad la'aanta.
Ha raagin. La tasho garyaqaanka weerarka iyo qareenka difaaca batteriga aadka loo qiimeeyo ee u adeegaya xukunkaaga isla markaaba haddii lagu soo oogo eedeymahan. Waxay dib u eegi doonaan waxyaabaha gaarka ah ee la xidhay, ururin doonaan cadaymo dheeraad ah, la hadli doona dhammaan dhinacyada ay khusayso, si qoto dheer u baadhi doonaan qawaaniinta la xidhiidha iyo tusaalooyinka sharciga kiiska, la xaajoon doona xeer-ilaaliyeyaasha, diyaarin doonaan markhaatiyaal, samayn doonaan doodo sharci oo heer sare ah, oo ay si hagar la'aan ah u difaaci doonaan dembi la'aanta macmiilka gudaha qolka maxkamadda iyada oo loo marayo maxkamadaynta haddii heshiisyada la gaaro. lama gaari karo.
Qareennada ugu sarreeya waxay si guul leh u difaaceen kumanaan weerar iyo kiis batari ah sannado badan oo la dhammeeyey iyagoo ku dhaqmaya sharciga difaaca dembiyada ee maxkamadaha maxalliga ah. Wax lacag ah oo lagu soo oogay ma keenayso natiijooyin dammaanad qaad ah, laakiin matalaadda ayaa faraqa u keenta dadka nidaamka ku jira.

Waxaan jeclaan lahaa in aan raadsado talobixin sharciyeed oo la xidhiidha kiiskeyga waxaan u diri doonaa maxkamadda Sharjah. Kiiskeyga ayaa dhacay, Al Nahda, Sharjah oo ku saabsan weerarka ka imaanaya darawal taksi. Waa muran caadi ah oo u horseeday in la dagaallamo, waana la iga jiiday, darawalkuna wuxuu igu dhigay dhowr jeer wejiga illaa illaa sanqadahaygu ku dhaawacmeen isla markaana duufsaday waqtigii weerarka ahaa ee aan xiranayay indhahayga indhahana laga saaray intii lagu jiray feerka aniga. Tusaale ahaan xitaa xaaskeyga ayaa ixtiraamay iyada oo ay isku dayayso in aan is dejiyo darawalka naga dhexeeyo. Warbixinta dhakhtarka iyo booliska ayaa laga sameeyey Sharjah. Waxaan jeclaan lahaa in aan raadsado habraaca loo xareeyo kiiskan iyo sharciyada sidaas ah.
Rajada jawaabtaada degdegga ah,
Mahadsanid & mahadsanid,

hi,
Waxaan jeclaan lahaa in aan waydiiyo haddii shirkaddaydu ay fayl gareyn karto kiis ka-baxsan aniga oo aan ii soo bixin. Waxaan kormeeray 3months horeyba, sababtoo ah waxaan haystaa kiis bilays oo jeeg ah. Baasaboorkaygu wuxuu la jiraa shirkaddayda.
Waxaan ka qaadan karnaa baasaaboorkaaga shirkaddaada, si nadiif ah nala soo xiriir.
Waxaan heystaa saaxiibkay 1 shirkada, iyadu si fiican uma shaqaynayso. runtii waxaan leenahay arrimo shakhsi ah laakiin waxay isku dhafan tahay arimo shakhsi ah si ay uga shaqeeyaan arrimaha. Hadda waxay igu eedeyneysaa inaan u shaqeynayo si shaqsiyan ah waxaanan dhibaato ka qabaa iyada oo aan run ahayn. Waxay ii sheegtay inay ogtahay inaan ka saari karo shirkadda, laakiin waxay hubin doontaa in wax xun ay igu dhacaan, aniguna waan ka qoomameynayaa inaan halkaan ku galo shirkaddayada. Xaaladdan, waxaan u tagi karaa booliiska oo waxaan u sheegi karaa arrintan. Anigu ma haysto caddayn qoraal ah sababtoo ah si toos ah ayay igu tiri wajigeyga. Waxaan rabaa in aan hubiyo in aan noqon doono meel nabad ah meel kasta oo ka mid ah ama ka baxsan xafiiska.
Hi
Waxaan doonayaa in aan wax ka waydiiyo dacwad sharci ah oo lala galo bangiga.
Waan la daahiyay lacag bixinta bangigeyga sababtoo ah dib udhaca lacag bixinta gunada ee shirkadeyda - waxaan sharaxay inaan bixin doono kaarka aan sugayo ee bangiga usbuuca gudihiisa laakiin way sii wacayaan. Dhowr shaqaale dhowr jeer maalin kasta. Waan joojiyay ka jawaabida wicitaanada mid ka mid ah shaqaalaha ayaa ii soo diraya qoraal uu ku leeyahay "bixi hadii kale faahfaahintaada waxaa lala wadaagi doonaa xafiiska Etihad Bureau ee liiska madow"
Taasi waxay u muuqataa sida hanjabaad iyo inaanan si fiican u qaadin.
Maxay tahay dacwada sharciga ee la xiriirta hanjabaadaha qoran?
Thanks
Deriskayga ayaa si joogto ah ii dhibaya waxay sidoo kale isku dayday in ay hal mar igu qabato Laakiin deriskaygu albaabkaygay ii yimaaddeen, oo afxumo joogto ah buu igu yidhi, Derisyadayda kale markhaati bay ka ahaayeen inay samaynayso.
Maamulahaygu wuxuu iigu hanjabay inuu 20 shaqaale kale hortooda igu dharbaaxi doono haddii aanan maalinta labaad soo gudbin laba fayl. Wuxuu iigu yeeray eray xun oo ah inaanan khamri ku cabin mid ka mid ah xafladaha xafiiska. Wuxuu sidoo kale u sheegay shaqobixiye kale inuu i garaaco markii aan jawaab qaldan ka bixiyay intii lagu jiray tababarka iyo su'aalaha tababarka. Wuxuu ii sheegay inaan faylasha soo gudbiyo Khamiista. Waxaan ka baqayaa inaan xafiiska tago. Hadda waxaan ku jiraa tijaabinta. Ma aqaano waxa la sameeyo ka dib markaad wax badan ku bixisay fiisaha iyo kharashka safarka ma haysto lacag aan ku siiyo shirkadda haddii la iga joojiyo.
Waxaan ku jiraa guri wadaag ah Flatmate wuxuu ku martiqaadayaa asxaabta gurigeenna inay cabaan, heesaan aana aad u buuq badan yihiin. Haddii aan u yeero booliska markay xaflad sameynayaan, waxaan ka walwalsanahay dadka kale ee guriga wada degan maadaama aan aqriyay in maadaama guri la wadaaga uu yahay mid sharci daro ah, dhamaan dadka ku nool guriga waa la xirayaa. ma runbaa? Horey waan ula hadlay qofkaan laakiin qofkaan wuxuu ii yimid kadib 4 maalmood isagoo qeylinaya oo wajigayga farta ku fiiqaya.
Saaxiibkay waa inuu sameeyaa warqad cilmi baaris ah oo ku saabsan weerarka waxaanan la yaabay aasaaska waxaas oo dhan. Waan ku faraxsanahay inaad xusayso in weerarka uusan ahayn mid jireed. Tani waa wax aanan hore u ogaan oo ay i siisay waxyaabo badan oo aan ka fikiro.
Waxay u badan tahay inay ganaax hesho booliskuna waxay weydiisan karaan inay bixiso biilashaada caafimaad, tan ugufiican waa inaad nagu soo booqato si aan waxbadan u fahamno.
