The UAE goes by the Sharia Law, and according to this law, marriage is the only legal bond for a man and woman to establish a relationship and have children. Due to the economic boom in UAE, and particularly Dubai, several professionals from across the world have begun to settle down in Dubai, and raise a family, given, all top class facilities, including education and entertainment options that it offers.
In Islam, marriage is a legal contract between a man and woman, aimed at safeguarding the rights of the couple and their children. The marriage contract needs to be registered in a Sharia court in the UAE, which ensures that the marriage meets legal requirements.
Expatriates do get married to Emiratis, and it is allowed in Dubai. However, the rules and procedures vary depending on nationality and/or religion. Usually, a man and woman belonging to the same religion are allowed to marry without difficulty. However, people belonging to different religions may face some problems organizing a wedding. For instance, when a Muslim man and Christian woman wish to get married, a Christian man will have to convert into Islam before marrying a Muslim woman.
For non-Muslims, marriage laws that are applicable in their home countries will be applicable. The spouses are required to possess a valid Dubai residence visa. In case one of the spouses is on a visit visa, he/she should undergo a medical examination in Dubai prior to marriage.
