SPYING on your spouse\u2019s phone in Saudi Arabia now carries a 133, 000 dollars fine and up to a year in prison, under a new law that aims to \u201cprotect morals of individuals and society and protect privacy\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The punishment would apply to both men and women in the ultra-conservative Muslim kingdom, according to a statement on Tuesday by the ministry of culture.<\/p>\n

It could tend to protect husbands from their wives.<\/p>\n

As in many other parts of the Muslim world, Saudi laws on divorce, inspired by scripture, often required wives seeking alimony to provide evidence of abuse or sexual promiscuity.<\/p>\n

A husband\u2019s phone could be a rich source of such evidence.<\/p>\n

The Anti-Cybercrime Law, says \u201cspying on, interception or reception of data transmitted through an information network or a computer without legitimate authorisation\u201d is a crime.<\/p>\n

It imposes a penalty up to 133, 000 dollars, prison or both.<\/p>\n

\u201cSocial media has resulted in a steady increase in cybercrimes such as blackmail, embezzlement and defamation, not to mention hacking of accounts\u2019\u2019, the ministry said.<\/p>\n

A similar law on the books in the neighbouring United Arab Emirates also bars the practice, carrying a minimum three-month prison term and 817 dollas fine.<\/p>\n

The oil-rich and tech-obsessed countries are among the most avid social media users in the world, but traditional values remained ascendant, even in courts. (Reuters\/NAN)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
