Many think they can send messages with simple phrases, such as "Good Morning", a set of advice or judgment, or "Remembrance morning and evening," to the list of names installed in their phones, at any time, through the program «WhatsApp», even If others are not willing to receive it. That is why they continue to press the send key, without thinking about the possibility of any kind of legal liability for it, as innocent messages, which do not involve any kind of abuse.

But this is not true, because WhatsApp messages cause inconvenience to some, regardless of their content, especially if they are sent in a provocative manner, or at inappropriate times.

The state courts recently witnessed the trial of a young man who sent messages "Good Morning" to a girl's phone on WhatsApp every morning, which the girl considered to be an inconvenience. The courts also heard the case of another young man who was also accused of disturbing a girl who deliberately sent various messages to revive an old relationship with her. Legal experts asserted that the classification of the letters «Whatsapp» in the category of inconvenience, is subject to the discretion of the judge. They added that the person disturbed by the messages can block the sender's number, or close the feature of activating the message bell, to prevent the sound of the alarm, or remove the sender number from the list of contacts in the phone.

Hanan al-Bayedh, a lawyer and legal advisor, said that the repetition of letters, even if they include adhkaar, advice, good evening and the like, is intended as a nuisance. In this case, the girl has the right to file a lawsuit against him.

The lawyer and legal adviser, Ibrahim Al-Hosani, that the repeated routing of morning and evening messages, and letters of remembrance and advice, to the list of names stored in the phone through the program «WhatsApp», despite the objection of others, is a nuisance.

Al-Hosani said that the classification of the messages «Whatsapp» in the category of inconvenience, belongs to the court. If the messages amount to harassment, the purpose of a relationship with a girl, or the inconvenience of another party, the sending person is punished according to the law.

In turn, the lawyer, Ramzi old, that the messages of «Whatsapp» are issued out of affection and normal relations between friends and relatives, and can not be considered annoying messages only if they are sent by someone who does not know the previous.

Inconvenience by phone

Lawyer and legal advisor, Ibrahim Al-Hosani, confirmed that there is a legal text punishing inconvenience by telephone, explaining that the Federal Penal Code stipulates that it is punishable by imprisonment for a period not exceeding one year, or a fine not exceeding 10,000 dirhams, whoever intentionally causes inconvenience. Others using telecommunications equipment.

He added that the law punishes the inconvenience, a fine of up to 3000 dirhams. If you do not change the WhatsApp program settings, or do not block the sender, or alert him not to send it again, this is an agreement to receive messages.
