A Gulf woman seizes 85,000 dirhams from her friend with a "fake groom"

A Gulf woman paid 85,000 dirhams to a friend of hers, hoping to obtain her help to marry her husband's brother, before it became clear to her that he was a "fake groom", and that her friend had deceived her, deluding her that he wanted to marry her, and she seized the money for herself.

The victim claimed against her friend, asking her to return the full amount to her, with a legal interest of 9% from the date of the case until complete payment.

The court of first instance ordered the defendant to pay 85,000 dirhams to the plaintiff, and a legal interest rate of 9% from the date of issuance of the ruling until the payment is completed.

She also accepted the admission of the groom (brother of the defendant's husband) to the lawsuit.

The verdict was not accepted by the defendant, so she appealed it, stating that the judgment made a mistake in applying the law, as well as corruption in inference and lack of causation.

And demanded the acceptance of the appeal and the annulment of the appealed judgment.

The case papers indicated that the appellant and the appellant were friends.

After the first divorce, she (the appellant) offered to communicate with her husband's brother through the "WhatsApp" program, because he wanted to get engaged.

The appellant’s husband’s brother asked for sums of money, totaling 85,000 dirhams, which she paid to him within a year by handing it over to his brother’s wife to pay his traffic violations and the costs of his treatment from a traffic accident, provided that he returns them to her later.

She explained that the man did not pay the sums of money or address her.

Before it became clear to her that the groom her friend showed her was an imaginary groom, and that she was writing to her friend herself on the "WhatsApp" program without knowing it, pointing out that the goal was to seize her money.

She said that her friend (the appellant) refused to pay her the money when asked.

The appellant's attorney demanded that the appeal be accepted in the form and to cancel the judgment and the judiciary not to accept the case, to file it through an unrelated way, and to refer the case for investigation to prove that his client did not receive any sums of money, and her clearance, because her role was limited to receiving the second appellant's letters and sending them to the (groom) phone.

And it was stated in the court statement that it is established that it is established in jurisprudence, law and judiciary that the Court of Appeal may uphold the appealed judgment for its reasons, as long as the reasons for the appeal did not bring anything new to what was presented to the court of first instance.

And she continued, "The appealed verdict was correct and agreed upon, and then the court decides to confirm it."

She added that the appellant's requests to assign an accountant or technical expert to prove that she did not receive monetary sums, to the point of her innocence, contradicts the authenticity of the criminal judgment, and the civil court may not contradict it.

The court decided to accept the appeal formally, and in the matter rejected it and upheld the appealed judgment.
