Watch Ludmiya Yamalov’s response to ‘Is PDA illegal in the UAE?’ …

Yamalov answers by saying that public display of affection (PDA) is, in fact, not illegal in the UAE. However, public display of affection that may be deemed either disgraceful or against public moral is against Article 58 of the UAE Penal Code.

Well, there you have it folk, basically… think twice before you get too touchy.

After all, we are in the UAE, and as liberated, welcoming and inclusive it is- we must still respect its people, culture and religious values.
