A man from Abu Dhabi who assaulted and inflicted head injuries on a woman has been ordered to pay her Dh20,000 in compensation. According to official court documents, the woman filed a lawsuit against the man before the Al Ain Civil Court of First Instance, demanding that he pay her Dh100,000 in compensation for the material and moral damages she incurred as a result of the assaults. According to her claim, the defendant severely beat her, causing injuries to her forehead, left hand, and other portions of her body.
