Woman accused of lying in affidavit to extort money

A married woman in Abu Dhabi was accused of forging her marital status to embezzle money from a charity.

The woman in question allegedly declared in an affidavit that she was still single because her marriage with her husband was not yet consummated.

The forgery was committed to get supporting funds from the UAE Red Crescent.

Her father and husband were also accused of abetting the crime, reported Al Bayan.

However, the woman insisted that she had not received any money from the charity and had no motive for the crime.

Her case is ongoing trial and will be judged on September 26.
