Jordan: Doctor must pay patient over beard remark
A North Amman Court of Reconciliation Justice issued a verdict against a dentist on charges of insult, after he told a female patient inside his clinic, "Save your beard for shame," during a dispute over an orthodontic appointment. The case details indicate that the patient was late for her appointment twice, leading to an argument with the staff member, which then escalated when her son intervened, and the conversation with the doctor became heated, during which he made the remark. The court considered that this statement constituted an offense of insult that undermines the dignity of the complainant. It sentenced the doctor to a fine of 10 dinars, and an emotional compensation of 600 dinars, along with legal interest and court fees, due to the absence of material damage.
