About 900,000 dollars, the price of the end of a romantic relationship in the Emirates between a young man and a girl older than him

The UAE courts witnessed mutual accusations between a young man and a girl whose romantic relationship ended, demanding that he return a sum of money amounting to 3,319,000 dirhams (896,130 dollars).
In the details of the case, the girl claimed that the young man received from her a sum of 3 million and 319 thousand dirhams, which he had promised her to marry.

A young man took the legal oath before the Abu Dhabi Court of First Instance, denying the fact that he had received the amount, and told the court: “The girl was the one who was chasing him for marriage, because she was older than him and did not get married,” according to the local newspaper, Al Bayan.

The girl demanded the court to compel the defendant to take an oath, to prove her right, since she did not take any official documents from him, proving her right to the money she gave him, as a debt, thinking that the relationship between them will end in marriage.

The girl added that she got to know the young man through the conversation program, and he illusioned her that he has an important position, and works in several projects and auctions of used vehicles, and he asked her to lend him an amount, with the aim of investing him in the field of real estate, and she gave him her bank card, and transferred sums of money through Exchange companies, the total amounted to 3 million and 310 thousand dirhams.

Looking into the case, the defendant admitted that he knew the complainant, and was communicating with her with the intention of marriage, and that he told her that he did not want to continue with her, because he was married to another, and that she was older than him, pointing out that the complainant was the one who owed him a sum of money, then returned it to him through the exchange And he denies receiving any money.

He pointed out that the complainant was the one who handed him her bank card, on the grounds that she was traveling, so that he could return the amount from her, denying the validity of receiving the amount of one million and one hundred and eighty thousand dirhams from the complainant’s account.

For its part, the court clarified in the merits of its ruling that the complainant based her claim on the fact that she withdrew cash from her personal account and handed it over to the defendant as a loan, and that she transferred amounts through exchange companies, and the defendant took the money using her credit card.

The court indicated that it is not sufficient merely to transfer funds from the complainant in favor of the defendant, to say that there is a loan or debt between the two parties to the dispute, because the transfer fact in itself is nothing more than a mere transfer of funds, but it does not benefit from the fact that it is the transaction under which the funds were transferred. Accordingly, the court ruled to dismiss the case, while obligating the complainant to pay fees and expenses.
