A man in the UAE has been ordered to pay a woman Dh50,000 in compensation following an assault that left her with a double fracture of the nasal bones, a nosebleed, and psychological distress, according to a report from Gulf News. The Al Ain Civil, Commercial and Administrative Claims Court awarded the woman compensation for the material and moral harm caused by the attack, rejecting her initial request for Dh100,000, as well as legal fees and expenses.

The assault had prevented her from carrying out her personal activities for up to 20 days, the court noted. The man had a prior criminal conviction for the assault, which the court considered in reaching its decision.
