A British stewardess has been fined 2000 dirhams for calling an Emirati housewife a 'lesbian' in a public place.
The Emirati housewife objected to the Briton's dress, which the housewife said, was 'indecent to be worn in public in front of families and children', reports Gulf News.
According to the report, the stewardess entered the cafe where the housewife was having coffee with a friend and objected to the 'inappropriately revealing' dress that irritated the Briton and she called the housewife a ' lesbian'.
When the Emirati housewife told her that she should respect the laws of the nation, the stewardess said that the laws were for the woman and not for her.
The stewardess continued to yell at her in public and also clicked her photographs through her mobile phone.
However, the British stewardess insisted that her dress was not revealing and yet the Emirati woman objected and called the police.
The Dubai Misdemeanour court convicted the stewardess of using abusive language towards the housewife, the report added.
