Speeches delayed, or repeated exit from the home of the bride's family, and not to return to him after the first visit, and a sense of permanent annoyance of the title «spinster» .. This causes many girls and their mothers and relatives to resort to scammers and sorcerers, hoping to find a solution. Although they later realized that they had fallen prey to fraudsters, they held on to the illusory hope of continuing to deceive themselves.
Because of these pressures, one girl spent 10 million dirhams because of a "lie", she thought that it would pave her way for marriage, while another cost 4 million dirhams, after one convinced her that her "spinster" was caused by "taking a lover" and dressed her and blocked all the ways in front of her marriage.
Cases pending before the courts and judicial rulings cited by the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, in its publications “Stories and Across the Realities of Abu Dhabi Courts”, revealed that many girls seeking marriage were exposed to traps of imposters.
The authorities have recently seized a woman who has set up social media accounts, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, in which she deluded her victims (the majority of them are Gulf nationals) by being able to provide Emirati couples to them.
Each victim received a sum of up to AED 30,000 in the event that the availability of the medal in the groom was one of the conditions.
She disappeared immediately after receiving the required amount of her victim, leaving behind confusion, questions and feelings of disappointment.
The chain of fraud would have continued with new victims living under this kind of social pressure had it not been reported by a victim.
Investigations into the case showed that the girls, who were found to be victims of the defendant through an audit of their accounts, refused to accuse her and denied knowledge of her, fearing the scandal. However, the prosecution merely claimed the only victim she reported to the Abu Dhabi Misdemeanor Court, which convicted her and sentenced her to imprisonment. Three years and deportation from the state.
In another case, one of the girls took advantage of the desire of her mother's friend to marry her daughter and complained about the repetition of her sermon without reason, and seized them nearly four million dirhams after the illusion of the existence of a genie adores the girl, and her body, and prevent her marriage, and that he is responsible for the failure of her marriage They submitted to her, and told them that the Mutawwa you know is the one who told her so, and confirmed that it can rid her of the lover, and open her share with any person you wish to link with.
The girl confirmed to the mother that «Al-Mutawa» told her about wearing jinn in the corners of the house, and their belongings, and that she must get him out, in order to get rid of the bile and can marry her daughter, including gold jewelery belonging to the girl and her mother, worth more than 700 thousand dirhams.
The mother and daughter executed the requests and gave her the gold jewelry in order to get rid of her curse, and the girl gave her all her money, and completed the one million dirhams requested by her friend with a bank loan.
After a while I told them that the magic of the house is over and that Al-Mutawa wants to rid the girl of the lover, and warned them that he is strong and master in his people, so it will cost them to take them out two million and 700 thousand dirhams, and advised them to sell their house to secure the required amount.
She received from the mother a deposit receipt until the payment was made, and then used it to prosecute the mother, and demanded to pay the amount of the deposit receipt, and then the mother and her daughter realized that they were the victims of an elaborate fraud, and they hastened to submit a report to the Public Prosecution, which allowed them to open the communication after they submitted it. A copy of the letters and dialogues that took place between the two parties on the subject, and investigations show that the complainant against them similar precedents, and strange that it denied knowledge of them despite the existence of an executive case between them.
A third case reported by the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department is about a Gulf girl holding a bank position who tried to draw the attention of a client she liked.He accused him of being a very wealthy family to encourage him to marry her.The latter used her to get expensive money and gifts for him and his family.
The girl explained in her confession that she is over 30 years old and has not married yet, causing her psychological pain, especially that her sisters and daughters of her uncles, aunts, aunts and aunts have married, most of them younger, less beautiful and science, and therefore wanted to marry a person befitting her patience, to say that she was right Waiting, noting that she wanted a groom handsome and educated and a distinct personality.
"The young man who inspired me to love was a client in my bank," she said. "I started a relationship with us. I was impressed by my admiration that I came from a wealthy family, and in return he accused me of believing me and practicing his game to drain the money that I embezzled from the bank." She believed that he believed her wealth until he told the prosecution that he knew she was from a simple family, and that he used her lie and used it against her.
She pointed out that the false lover began to fabricate lies to get money from them, once he says that his brother will be imprisoned for defaulting on a loan, to give him the value of the loan, and once comes worried and tells her that his mother caused a car accident and the car is not fully insured, and will remain without a car What prompted her to buy a new car for his mother, another for his sister and a third for his father instead of his old car, in addition to expensive watches and gifts, and sponsoring travel and shopping trips, pointing out that the total spent on the future groom and his family, amounted to 10 million dirhams, embezzled through a procedure Overdraft from the bank you It works.
The legal advisor, Hadiya Hammad, confirmed that some people do not hesitate to resort to charlatans despite the spread of education and the decline of illiteracy and warnings of the Ministry of Interior to citizens and residents from being driven behind their claims, thinking that they are able to achieve their intractable wishes, such as - Groom, knowing some of the metaphysical things, which makes them easy prey to these scammers, or who call themselves «sermons».
She explained that the «matchmaker» illusory victims that they have the ability to achieve their wishes for a groom, and end up with the seizure of their money.
She pointed out that «the loss of money in the pursuit of an illusion, remains the least losses, and I do not rule out the possibility that this will go beyond the commission of moral crimes against the victims, and may also result in crimes of extortion for them, and courtyards filled with different types of these cases».
Hammad stressed that «the conduct of this road, in addition to violating the teachings of the Islamic religion, is a legal violation, as the law defines sorcery as the claim of knowledge of the unseen, or know the secrets, or tell what is in the conscience by any means, with a view to exploiting people», pointing out that « The law prescribes a penalty of imprisonment and a fine of not less than 50,000 dirhams for those who engage in such acts.
Article 399 of the Federal Penal Code stipulates that any person who finds himself or others on a movable property, bond, signature, cancellation, destruction or amendment of such bond, shall be punished by imprisonment or by a fine, by means of fraudulent means or by taking a false name or an incorrect characteristic, whenever This would have tricked the victim into delivery.
She attributed the psychological specialist and family counselor Moza Said, the problem of girls going to charlatans and fictitious fictitious to the prevailing culture in the Arab society in general, and the Gulf in particular, noting that the majority of families suffer severe concern if one of her daughters exceeded the age of 25 years and did not marry, as if disaster Some begin to feel anxious as the girl reaches the age of 18, so she begins to describe the girl as a spinster.
"The problem is in the way of thinking," she said. "Although the majority of girls nowadays prefer to finish school, get a job, and rely on themselves, to adhere to the cords of marriage and take responsibility, customs and traditions contradict these desires, which drives much Parents to resort to charlatans and suitor, and spend large sums to avoid delayed marriage of their daughters ».
Said pointed out that «the majority of matchmakers are not sincere, and a large proportion of marriages through them fail before the lapse of a year to get married and end in divorce, because of the different attitudes of the husband from the wife, as the majority of the wedding matchmakers elderly and married and looking for a young girl to be a second wife or Third to them. ''
She stressed that awareness must start from the parents themselves through raising awareness of girls and young people, and raised this issue in the curriculum, noting that «society was suffering in the past only spinsterhood, but now we have an early divorce and spinster».
For his part, said Professor of Culture and Society at the University of Canada and the Center for Soft Forces Consulting and Training, Dr. Saif Rashid Jabri, that «these problems arise when we do not open the right windows to address such challenges», pointing out that «the lack of formal and documented channels to reconcile young men and women , And facilitate their marriage, find unreliable female and online marriage sites exploit the need for girls to marry, extort money, and may be embarrassed victims and refrain from reporting to the police, for fear of being exposed ».
Al-Jabri explained that the illusion of finding a husband through speeches and imaginary exploit the need of girls for emotional stability and build a family, lead to the destruction of an important part of the values of society, pointing to the need to unify efforts in the protection of girls and intensify the efforts of the concerned authorities to reveal the accounts and fake sites on networks Social networking, arresting sellers of illusion of innocent people.
He stressed the need for the concerned authorities in the State to hold seminars, workshops and lectures, especially in secondary schools for girls, to protect them from falling into the temptations of imaginary stability, which results in the disintegration of society.
