Abu Dhabi: Father and son held liable for beating woman

## Court Ruling

In a recent decision, the Abu Dhabi Family, Civil and Administrative Court has mandated a father and son to pay Dh5,000 to a woman they assaulted. This ruling comes after a criminal case where both were found guilty of the attack.
