The High Court has dismissed an appeal and ordered a Maldivian national to pay back MVR 5.4 million (US$350,000) he took from a Swiss woman after promising to marry her.
In June, the Civil Court ordered a man identified by the court as Ibrahim Ali to pay the Swiss woman the money after he was found guilty of swindling it from her.
The Swiss woman alleged that Ibrahim had taken money from her on several occasions in large sums, and had promised that he would marry her.
She also told the court that Ibrahim had told her that he was single, but that she had later found out that he was married and had children.
