In 2021 a rather revolutionary for the United Arab Emirates draft law was adopted, which changed the legal framework for marriage, guardianship of minor or incapacitated children, property inheritance, and divorce for non-Muslims in the capital of the Emirates \u2013 Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n
Under this law, tourists and expats who do not practice Islam can now marry in a non-Muslim civil court in Abu Dhabi. Whereas previously the wedding ceremony could only be by Muslim religious ceremony, visitors to the UAE can now get married many times faster and without the need for a medical examination and the permission of a guardian. In addition, the new law allows the couple to enter into a marriage contract. Such a marriage and contract will be considered legal, both within the kingdom and outside of it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
All these legislative steps are aimed at making life easier for many tourists and expats coming to and living in the Emirates. The liberalization of the marriage laws should make Abu Dhabi more attractive to tourists. Of course, such legislative changes are not enough to make the life of non-Muslims full, and even with the new law on marriage for foreigners, the kingdom is significantly inferior in its simplicity to countries such as Georgia.<\/p>\n
Georgia today is the benchmark for ease and speed of marriage and is a real wedding Mecca for a huge number of couples from all over the world. For example, you can get married in as little as 24 hours and you don’t even have to be a citizen or have a residency permit.<\/p>\n
