We present to you a research paper titled "The Evidentiary Value of Digital Evidence in Crimes of Digital Violence Against Women Under Omani Law (A Legal Study)." This study was prepared by researchers Nizar Qashta ,Fatma Al-Abri, Bayan Al-Marjibi, and Lawza Al-Mashaykhi, against the backdrop of the increasing use of technology to commit various forms of digital violence, and the accompanying challenges faced by investigative and judicial authorities in proving such crimes through digital evidence. The study aims to clarify the concept and characteristics of digital evidence, analyze the legislative framework governing it, and assess the adequacy of the applicable legal rules in recognizing its evidentiary value. It also examines the role of the criminal judge in assessing the admissibility, reliability, and legality of digital evidence.
The research problem is centered on the extent to which Omani legislation guarantees the evidentiary value of digital evidence in proving crimes of digital violence against women, while achieving a balance between its effectiveness in detecting and proving crimes and ensuring the legality of its acquisition, integrity, reliability, and the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms. To address this issue, the study adopts the descriptive and analytical approach.
The research reaches several recommendations, most notably the need to develop a unified national procedural guide for the collection, preservation, examination, and presentation of digital evidence before the courts, together with specialized training for judges, members of the Public Prosecution, judicial police officers, and experts on its proper application.
