Domestic violence in Dubai is defined as any act of physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, or financial abuse committed by a family member against another. This includes:

  • Physical abuse (hitting, slapping, pushing)

  • Sexual abuse (unwanted sexual contact or coercion)

  • Verbal abuse (insults, humiliation)

  • Economic abuse (withholding money, controlling financial resources)

The UAE’s Family Protection Policy and Federal Law No. 10 of 2019 provide a comprehensive legal framework for identifying, reporting, and prosecuting domestic violence cases, ensuring victims receive the protection and justice they deserve.
