Three UAE men land in jail for dressing as women
Three men in the United Arab Emirates have been sentenced to one year each in jail for dressing like women, reports PTI from Dubai.
A Misdemeanour Court in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah awarded the jail term to the three, all in their early twenties, who were caught while purchasing items meant for women.
The trio, dressed like women and carrying bags full of female clothes and accessories after a round of shopping, triggered suspicion, the Gulf News reported, adding that they were also using the female trial room.
The official said a woman customer suspected that one of the three was a man. She called the shop owner, who informed the police.
A court official said the three men did not harass any woman customer in the shop.
The men rejected the verdict, demanding freedom to act and dress the way they desire, the report said.

Middle-aged British men ‘least satisfied’ with life
Middle-aged men in Britain are least happy with their lives compared to youths and the elderly in the country, according to a government study, PTI reports from London.
The survey carried out by the UK government covered over 1,600 British citizens who were asked to score their wellbeing on a scale of one to ten.
Though individuals were generally fairly content, the study revealed that men aged between 35 and 44 were suffering from mid-life crisis.
All the middle-aged men rated their satisfaction levels at 6.8 out of ten in the happiness stakes.
On the other hand, youths between 16 and 24 scored well by rating themselves 7.3.
However, the elderly had the last laugh by rocketing to a rating of 7.8 once they reached retirement age.
The aged people also claimed to be more positive about themselves across the other age groups.
