Jordan man jailed for offering affair
The North Amman Criminal Court sentenced a 27-year-old man to six months in prison after finding him guilty of insulting public decency by sending messages via WhatsApp to a married woman. He offered to meet her in a furnished apartment for 15 dinars per hour, with the amount increasing if he extended the meeting, despite her not knowing him. The case was uncovered after the woman informed her husband about the messages, which led to marital disputes and the husband leaving the marital home. The court ruled that the messages included an offer to engage in sexual acts in exchange for money, which constitutes an offense against public morality according to Article 306 of the Penal Code. The court confirmed that the defendant was not responsible for damaging the marital bond or for threats, and refused to order his deportation, citing that another person was using the phone number. The period of detention was counted towards his sentence.
