DUBAI: A couple was sentenced to one month in jail after being caught while kissing in a tinted car behind a mosque in Dubai, UAE newspaper Gulf News reported.

A 31-year-old local female banker and her country-man, 19, were given a one-month sentence after they were reported by an Omani passer-by.

“The man claimed that he saw a couple clutching intimately to each other but doubted that they were having sex. He called the police,” added Gulf News.

The teenager, also said to be a banker, was quoted as saying that the couple “never had sex but I admit that we kissed.”
