Marriage in the United Arab Emirates

A wedding in Dubai.

Marriage in the United Arab Emirates is governed by a combination of Islamic principles, local traditions, and legal regulations. Islamic marriages within the country are conducted according to Sharia law, where the groom and bride are both Muslims, or the bride is from 'Ahl Al-Kitaab', typically referring to Christianity or Judaism.[1] Non-Muslim residents and visitors can marry through the UAE Personal Laws for non-Muslims or their respective religious or national laws.[2]
