The United Arab Emirates ( UAE ) legislator has regulated gross fraud in the Civil Code, which derives its provisions from the Hanafi school of Islamic jurisprudence. A penalty was adapted so that when gross fraud has an impact on a contract, the defrauded contracting party can terminate the contract in question. The legislation also regulates slight fraud, but only in two very specific cases. This article aims at determining the accuracy of Article 189 that regulates slight fraud, and then identifies its shortcomings by analysing the cases in which slight fraud affects a contract. It concludes that this text is inaccurate, and suggests the UAE legislator amend Article 189. In addition, we suggest a new definition of terminal illness.

轻微欺诈对合同的影响：对阿联酋民法典第 189 条的分析研究

阿拉伯联合酋长国 (UAE) 立法者在民法典中对严重欺诈进行了监管，该法典的条款源自哈纳菲伊斯兰法学学派。对处罚进行了调整，以便当严重欺诈对合同产生影响时，受欺诈的缔约方可以终止相关合同。该立法还规定了轻微的欺诈行为，但仅限于两种非常具体的情况。本文旨在确定第189条规范轻微欺诈的准确性，然后通过分析轻微欺诈影响合同的案例找出其不足之处。结论是该文本不准确，并建议阿联酋立法者修改第 189 条。此外，我们建议对绝症进行新定义。
