The unnamed Arab
expatriate was fined 150,000 dirhams ($40,843) by the criminal
court in the emirate of Ajman, the English-language newspaper
said.
Her lawyer told the paper she had accused her husband of having
an affair. She admitted she had accessed his phone without his
permission and transferred photos to her device, the lawyer
added.
The husband lodged a complaint with the court which convicted
her on Thursday last week under a cyber crime law which
penalizes "the invasion of privacy of another person" using
information technology, the paper said.
It said the couple were in their 30s but gave no other
information.
