An Emirati woman is seeking the help of philanthropists and charity organizations to help her free her husband from jail.
Her spouse was imprisoned for six months due to a financial case. The court ordered the man to pay a AED25,000 fine for issuing a bouncing check.
The man’s wife Sumaia Ali, an Emirati woman, said they have three children.
“I lost my job during the COVID-19 crisis. I used to work in the canteen of a public school for AEDDhs3,000 to support my family and my husband and meet as much the needs of my children as possible.
“But my husband went to prison half a year ago on account of financial issues and his inability to pay a fine of AED25,000 over a dud check. This exacerbated our suffering and turned the family’s life into a bitter one,” she said.
“I have three children to support alone and I am reluctant to ask people for help. My job and my small salary used to meet many of my living needs but I lost it currently and I have no breadwinner to help me,” she pleaded.
