DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – A string of steamy text messages has landed an Indian couple in a Dubai jail.
The conviction reported Wednesday said the sexual content of the texts suggested the unnamed pair planned to "commit sin" — referring to an extramarital affair, which is illegal under Emirati law.
The two Indians, who worked as cabin crew for Emirates airlines, were sentenced to three-month in jail, said authorities.
The texts surfaced in a divorce lawsuit by the woman's estranged husband.
It's the latest example of passions clashing with the law in cosmopolitan Dubai, which allows a lenient lifestyle but can sporadically enforce traditional social codes.
Earlier this week, a British couple said they will appeal a one-month jail sentence for exchanging a fiery kiss in a restaurant.
