Legalities of Getting Married in the UAE
Fidgeting over your wedding plan? Don’t know where to go for advice? Whom to trust? With the increase in the global community in UAE, and the ever-changing rules, it sometimes becomes impossible to keep track of the changing rules related to weddings.
So for expat brides-to-be, the major question is how to get the paper-work over with, and get on with planning the wedding.
Firstly, the wedding scene in the UAE is governed by Sharia Law. This law strongly establishes that the only legal bond between a man and woman is “MARRIAGE”. Therefore, only this legal bond can nurture children.
Marriage between an ‘Expat and an Emirati’
If you are an expat, marrying an Emirati, note that the rules and procedures differ on the basis of nationality and/or religion. If both parties belong to the same religion; then getting married is not very difficult, but if a Christian man wants to marry a Muslim woman then he’ll have to convert to Islam.
Marriage between ‘Expat Muslims and Non-Muslims’
Expat Muslims of any nationality can marry in the UAE at the Sharia court which issues their residence visa. Those on a visit visa cannot register their marriage at the Sharia court.
The rule clearly states that the man should be a Muslim, while the woman can be a Christian, Hindu or Jew in order to marry at a Sharia court.
For the attention of non-Muslims; every law which is applicable in your home country will be applicable here as well. While you live in UAE, it would be best to check with your embassy.
Marriage between ‘Expatriates of same religion’
For Christian weddings:
If you are of the same nationality and religion, then contact your embassy, and understand the procedure. If you are getting married in the church; then you will need a certificate of No Impediment to Marriage issued by your embassy before conducting the ceremony. To have this certificate issued, you’ll need to bring your passport, and sign an affidavit stating that you’re not already married and there is no hindrance to getting married. Don’t forget to bring along with you two witnesses. It may be possible to get married at your embassy depending on your nationality; otherwise you’ll have to go to a church.
If you’re both of different nationalities, but of the same religion, you’ll need to contact both your respective embassies to find out what the best or correct procedure is. There are different procedures for different nationalities.
UK citizens need to post wedding banns. Once posted, you’ll have to wait for three weeks before you can collect the banns and go to a church to get married.
US citizens need to get married by a pastor (Contact your church to make this arrangement).
Indian citizens can apparently get married at their embassy in Abu Dhabi, which can be followed by a religious ceremony in the church.
If you decide to get married at one of the Christian churches, expect to pay fees of about 2000 AED. Additional costs for flowers, photography, dress, suit, cake, air fares for friends and families, and all the usual accoutrements.
Christian churches will usually only marry a couple if both are Christians, however the Christ Church Jebel Ali, will marry the couple so long as one of you is a Christian with a baptism certificate.
Once you are married, you will receive a marriage certificate in English. This needs to be translated into Arabic by a court approved translator for your marriage to be valid in the UAE. Fees should be less than 100 AED. Once translated, submit both documents to the Notary Public Office at the Dubai Courts for certification (another 100 AED fee). You need to have UAE residence visas to be able to do this. Then you need to go to the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to get the certification authenticated. Once all these procedures are completed, return to your own embassy to get the Ministry of Foreign Affairs authentication. This is required for the certificate to be valid in your home country. Please note that if both of you are of different nationalities, then you need to complete the procedures mentioned above at your respective embassies.
For Hindu Weddings:
Ceremonies in Hindu temples are not legally recognised. Legal procedures and registration for Indian nationals are handled by their embassy. The website provides all the guidelines and forms.
For further details contact-
http://www.indembassyuae.org/drupal/embassy
For Islamic Weddings:
If you are not a UAE citizens then, a valid UAE residence visa is required.
The next step to take is to go to the Marriage Section of the Dubai Court along with the following-
- The bride’s father or guardian or his attorney.
- Passports as well as copies along with identification papers for the guardian and witnesses.
- Two male Muslim witnesses.
- Proof of divorce or death of husband for the bride if applicable.
- If the bride is Muslim, and her father is not, she needs a no objection letter from her embassy (or consulate) in Arabic (or translated into Arabic and attested by the Ministry of Justice) and attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
- You’ll receive a UAE marriage license.
- 100 AED for fees (Keep extra cash at hand just in case).
- To authenticate it for validity in your home country, take it to the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then your embassy (or consulate) for authentication at each stop.
Marriage between ‘Expatriates of different religions’
In the case of mixed marriages; a few points have to be considered. If the groom is Muslim and bride is not, contact the Marriage Section of the Dubai court. You may be able to get married there. The above stated procedure for Islamic marriages will be followed.
If the bride is Muslim and the bridegroom is not, you cannot get married in Dubai until the groom converts to Islam. For religions other than Islam or Christianity, contact your respective embassies to find out what the best procedure is.
Christian churches will usually only marry a couple if both are Christians, however the Christ Church Jebel Ali, will marry the couple so long as one of you is a Christian with a baptism certificate.
Marriage between ‘Expatriates with Non-religious ideologies’
UAE expats which have no particular religious interests need to complete the paperwork in their respective countries. If both of you have no religious inclinations, and would like to have a Dubai blessing ceremony performed instead of a religious one then an officiate needs to be contacted. Please contact your embassy to gain more information on the same.
What are the legal requirements
- Legal age for marriage is 18 years for both men and women (for an Anglican marriage).
- Bride and Groom may not be related (not required in case of Muslim marriages).
- Two witnesses are required who must show IDs.
- The legalities vary widely per nationality, so it is best to check with your embassy in UAE before planning your marriage.
- Generally it is easier if you are of the same religion.
How long a residence should I have held to get married here?
There are no residency requirements to get married in the UAE; however it takes at least 4 weeks to sort out the paperwork.
What are the legal requirements?
- Full birth certificates
- Ten year passports and photocopies
- Passports and photocopies of two witnesses
- UAE Medical fitness certificate and blood test undertaken at Ministry of Health affiliated medical centres
- Sworn affidavit stating that you are free to marry
- If you have been divorced then the final divorce papers and your former marriage certificate must be shown.
- If you are widowed then the death certificate of your previous spouse must be shown.
Dubai based wedding planner- Clare Ebbs of The Perfect Moment took time out to share a few tips for our brides-to-be!
- Check with your embassy, as the requirements may differ based on religion and nationality. For example, the Russian embassy will not recognise a Dubai based marriage; you would need to arrange the official paperwork in Russia, and then carry out a blessing in Dubai. If you do marry in Dubai then it will not be recognised if you go back to Russia, you would be seen as ‘single’ and if you are seen as married in Dubai then you cannot remarry in Russia. It can cause a world of complications so it is best to check first!
- Make sure you suss out all the legal requirements for your marriage before you start the fun and creative planning!
- Make sure you gather all the required documents such as passport copies, birth certificates as soon as possible; this will help speed up the legal process.
- For most religions, you will need to marry in a place of worship; do not let this dissuade you if you are not highly ‘religious’. You can register your marriage at the embassy in the morning of the wedding; or a few days prior. You can then ask the priest to carry out a blessing with all your wedding guests as part of your wedding celebrations.
- If you are considering UAE as your wedding destination, then it may be worthwhile to legally marry in your country, and then come to Dubai for the ‘wedding’ – this can then be a blessing on the beach or in the desert or whatever you feel would be your ‘perfect wedding’ scene.
We hope that this post gives you relevant information, and proves to be helpful. If you need to gain more information regarding a particular topic related to legalities of getting married in the UAE, Please contact your local embassy or the courts!
Have a great time planning your wonderful wedding!
For “Christian” weddings in Dubai, one of the 2 getting married must be a Christian (not necesary for both) and you must be able to prove that ie. a babtism certificate…..
Hi I’m ailyn I already convert Muslim I’m single,and my bf also convert Muslim and we are planning to get married to Sharjah court, but the problem is my bf was already married to Philippine,with a christian lady and they separated with in 10 years.I’m asking if we are allowed to marry with him herein uae thanks for your response..
Even if you converted to muslim and so as your BF, previous marriages in the Philippines should be annulled first before getting married under sharia. Hope this answer helps.
With regards to a Muslim male and a Christian female getting married in Dubai,
-both are residents
-both are muslim/christian by birth but have no particular religious interests
-both hold different nationalities (bride holds Greek passport)
Can they have a non-religious wedding? A few more questions:
-Will the court agree to marry the couple in a non-religious manner?
-The Greek embassy/consulate informed us that we can get married there. Is that considered legal enough in Dubai?
-If we choose to get married in the embassy, is there anything else we need to do to be legally married in Dubai?
Thank you :)
Hi there – Congrats on your engagement and welcome to Bride Club ME :). Unfortunately we are not an authority on all the legal implications and can only suggest and advise. If the consulate is saying it is OK and fully legal, then there should be no issue – Is the husband or wife Muslim as this makes a difference? Many people, have a religious ceremony first and then a blessing, with their own vows, with family and friends present.. A ‘celebrant’ is used to conduct the blessing if the couple are not very religious. We really suggest contacting the civil courts and your embassy for sound and realistic advise. Good luck.
I would like to know if we could marry without the permission of my girlfriend father or any other. As iam a resident in UAE and planning to bring her on visit and get married and settle here in UAE.
Hi Nasir – That would really depend on yours and her religion and where you are from?
Hi there I’m mylene from Philippines me and my fiancé are planning to get married this month ..but because of my company problem …they want to cancel my visa same this month..I just want to ask ..can I get married to my fiancé even my company canceled my visa.thanks hope for your answer
Hi Mylene. This is something you really need to check with the church (if you are Christian) or your embassy, but I do believe you can legally marry here on a tourist visa :)
Hi,i’m living @ uae srilankan Hindu.. I would like to marry a Pinay christian.. pls advice me thx

Salam, I’m Fathma and i just want to ask regarding my problem of getting married here in UAE. I am Filipina and new muslim and my fiancee is a muslim also and from Pakistan. He have first wife and first wife not agree for us to marry, so now we are facing this problem. Can you help me to know if its required in Dubai Sharia Court to have the consent of first wife? Thanks i hope you can help me.
Hi Fathma – Congrats on your engagement. If his first wife is no agreeing, I think you may be facing an issue. It is best to check with the Dubai Courts directly, as we are not an authority on such issues. Wishing you the best of luck.

I would like to ask you is It possible for me & my boyfriend to get married in our consulate (Indian) without our parents permission.. Am a Hindu & he is a Christian.. We both are working here & we are in our company visa..
Thanks for this info. I was looking everywhere for this and like the bride in your comic (although I am a man) I was stressed. Now my case and questions:
I am a Muslim by birth on a residence visa in Dubai, my finacee who I know for 7 years is Russian and an Orthodox Christian by birth, lives in Moscow. We want to get married in Dubai and have her move here.
– Can she come over on a tourist visa and get married to me in a Sharia court? or should we get married in Russia and then go through the long registration process?
– Are there any salary/document requirements I need to fulfill?
Would be grateful if anyone could help with this ASAP :)
Thanks

I am a muslim and my gf is also a muslim. We both are Expatriates in UAE. We both like each other and want to get married, with our parents consent. They are not willing and we want to continue with the marriage. We want to know what is the procedure and is it not possible to get married in UAE without the girl’s Father’s consent.
We have tried talking to the girls father several times, but he is money minded and looking for an ATM type of guy for the girl. We are together for more than 12 years now. My parents would agree on our marriage, but it all comes down to the girl’s father not agreeing.
Is there any way, if anyone has faced the same scenario and we be advised on the same.
Hi Arshad – I am really sorry you are going through this with your parents :( Love should not be bound by these things. I really wish I could advise you, but this is a very personal issue. You need to check with the courts and your local embassy and of course, try reasoning with your fiances father. Wishing you the best of luck x
Hey Arshad
Im in a similar situation. Any luck?

Hi,
Do you know what the procedure is to get married at the British Embassy in Dubai – two British Nationals with UAE visas?
Thanks
Hi Nicola.
You would need to contact the Embassy Direct for the correct and most update information.
Embassies may require a sworn affidavit and Notice of Marriage to register the wedding.
According to the British Embassy, a church will need a Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage before conducting the ceremony. This can take up to three weeks to process. The embassy or consulate can help you apply. Or if either of you are Catholic, you can contact the Christ Church Jebel Ali, to legally wed there :) Best of luck!

Can foreigner marry emarati with tourist visa?
Hello! I’m an American Orthodox Christian engaged to a Muslim Egyptian living in the UAE. What are your takes on: 1 – civil marriage out of the country to avoid Sharia Law restrictions? 2 – how to be prepared in protecting myself / possible children in case of divorce… 3 – Positives and Negatives of Civil Marriage out of country vs. Islamic Marriage contract here in UAE…. Thanks so much!!!
Dear Mdeeb, thankyou for visiting Bride Club ME.
Please note that we cannot comment on legal matters as we are not qualified – however many couples choose to do their ‘legal’ marriage outside the country and then do their blessing here for a variety of reasons. It’s definitely something that’s worth looking into and can be beneficial for a whole range of reasons.
We would recommend speaking to a lawyer with regards to your other questions, please let us know if you would like us to put you in contact with a great family lawyer.

Hi my name is Arlene, I want ask if is it needs fathers consent to get married in Abu Dhabi court?
I’m 26 years old already. My bf is buddist.
Anybody got married in Abu Dhabi court? What are the requirements?
Please I want your comments..
Thanks.
Dear Arlene,
Generally you need to be muslim (or at least, the man does) in order to marry in the UAE courts. Your best bet would be to contact your embassy and see if they can perform a marriage there.
Again though, we are not legally qualified to give advise regarding the court systems, you would be best advised to contact either your embassy or a qualified lawyer for further details!
Wishing you the very best of luck,

Hey Fairy Bride Mother :)
Thanks for an article that’s actually useful!
Just wanted some advice… My Fiancee and I are British Citizens living and working in the UAE, we want to ideally have our wedding in the UK however due to financial difficulties we can’t yet.. but obviously we would like to live together etc without breaking any laws.. so my other half has been told that there’s a type of marriage you can get in the UAE but it will just be valid within the UAE and that’s it…
I’ve been researching but found nothing, do you know anything about this? :) Many thanks in advance x
Dear Lozenge,
Depending upon both of your religions, there are a few options. All marriages out here are legal everywhere, so you will be technically married, but many expatriates split their ‘legal’ wedding and ‘blessing’
Personally, we had our ‘legal’ wedding at Jebel Ali Christ Church a few months before our main ceremony, and told our family it was just a procedural thing which wasn’t recognized outside the UAE.
Our family went along with it so that worked out fine ;)
We’d recommend either contacting the church or the Islamic courts, depending of course on your religion, and taking it from there. You’ll just need 2 witnesses for a church wedding so it’s reasonably easy to make people think your main wedding is the real one :)
Best of luck!

PROCEDURES FOR MARRIAGE OF MUSLIMS AND NON-MUSLIMS IN DUBAI
Source: http://www.dubai.ae/en/Lists/Articles/DispForm.aspx?ID=23&category=Citizens
Under the Sharia Law applicable in the UAE, marriage is the only legal bond for a man and a woman to establish a relationship and have children. It is prohibited for an unmarried man and woman to live together or share a closed space. As per Article 365 of the UAE Penal Code, the punishment can include a jail term followed by deportation.
Marriage in Islam is a legal contract between a man and a woman, aimed at safeguarding the rights of the couple and their children. The marriage contract should be registered in a Sharia court in the UAE, which ensures that the marriage meets legal requirements. For non-Islamic marriages, couples should contact their church or embassy and follow the marriage laws applicable there.
To get married at Dubai Courts through an Islamic (Sharia) marriage, the following conditions should be fulfilled:
1. Before you visit Dubai Courts, you need to register electronically through the Court’s website. Once you fill up the electronic form and submit, you will receive a reference number in your email which you should carry along with you on your visit to Dubai Courts.
Before you visit Dubai Courts, you need to register electronically through the Court’s website. Once you fill up the electronic form and submit, you will receive a reference number in your email which you should carry along with you on your visit to Dubai Courts.
At least one party to the marriage contract (husband, wife or wife’s guardian) should have employment or residence visa in Dubai. Spouses should bring their national ID and passports for proof of their identity and visa status.
A spouse’s age should not exceed double of their partner. If either spouse is less than 18 years of age, approval of the Chief Justice of Personal Status Court should be obtained.
The couple should furnish a pre-marital medical certificate issued from a Dubai government hospital/government clinic to rule out diseases such as thalassemia or HIV/AIDS.
Both spouses should present themselves, along with the bride’s father and two Muslim male witnesses. In case, the bride’s father is no longer alive, relevant death certificate to be shown and presence of closest male guardian is required (example adult son, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew). If bride’s father is alive but unable to come in person, he can delegate a proxy guardian, who must be of the same religion as that of the bride’s father, to complete marriage procedures through an officially certified power of attorney.
The fee for the marriage contract at Dubai Courts varies from AED 60 to AED 500 depending on the procedures. The authorized marriage officers at Dubai Courts will advise you on this.
In addition to the conditions given above, there are other special conditions for newly converted Muslims, divorcees, widows, widowers and for marriage of UAE female with expatriates.
Newly converted female Muslims should submit ‘certificate of embracing Islam’ and certificates from any Islamic centre approved by the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments (Awqaf). Divorcees should submit official certificate / divorce judgement. Widows and Widowers should submit death certificate of their late spouse. All certificates not issued in the UAE should be legally translated into Arabic. Power of attorney and other certificates issued from a country outside the UAE should be legally translated and ratified by Ministry of Foreign Affairs of that country, UAE Embassy of that country, UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and UAE Ministry of Justice.
Dubai Courts has more than 20 authorized marriage officers (Mazoons) to perform marriage ceremonies, draw up the marriage contract and check all documentation. At the end of the marriage procedure, you can use the decorated wedding room at Dubai Courts to take a few photographs to document your special day before you proceed to your wedding party.

Hii, I am an Indian Muslim and my bride to be, is also an indian muslim. We both hold resident visas of UAE. Would like to know if we would have to get a signed affidavit from Indian Embassy to get married in Dubai. Does the Dubai Court have a requirement of this document. The information given on internet in this matter as well as the pre marriage medical certificate is so confusing, incomplete, etc. If anyone has done the same, could they please help me out on what would be the step by step procedure and how much time does it take to get it all done. My marriage would be in mid of January 2016 and would want to know if we can just do a walk in at the Dubai Court? Does any thing need to be typed from the typing centre, as the other website of Dubai court asked to fill a form, but it also mentioned that it needs to be typed in Arabic :(
sometimes i feel, going back to India and getting the marriage done is a easier way to opt out :( but definately that would be time consuming as well as money.

My question is, can I apply divorce or file divorce here on Dubai? Can I marry an Emarati national as I am a filipina? Pls help
There is no divorce in Philippines, though you can file for an annulment. You should be in the Philippines in order to file this case. However, you can hire a good lawyer there to fix all the papers for you on a hefty amount. Good luck!

Hi Ali. Please read the article.
Hello Im Maria from Phillipines. I am separated from my husband for about two yeas=rs now but legally we are still married by document coz we have two children with us here before so i am really registered here in dubai as legally married in Philippines. Now i have a boyfriend who is single from The Netherlands and he wants to marry me here to make our partnership legal in dubai and settle here. Is there any option for us to get mariied here in dubai in our situation? we are both working here in dubai. My annulment is still on process at the moment but it will take sometime before i will have it approved so for now i want to know if there a way here in dubai to legalized my partnership with my boyfriend or can we get married in dubai? Please advice.
The only way you can marry him is to wait for your annulment case to finish. Other than that, no you can’t. The court here in UAE will be asking for a document stating that you are legally annulled prior to you marriage with your boyfriend.
If we both are with pakistanI passport and she’s mother and my sister also agree so is it possible we married air we need any more ?
hi, im fatma from philippines. me and my saudi fiance are planning to get married in dubai. what are the requiremts? do we still need to have permission from saudi govt?where will we go to apply for a marriage contract? im presently working in dubai. we have been together for 5 years.
You can never marry your Saudi Fiancé until he receives an approval from the K.S.A. government on which he have to apply in his country. And that my dear is the first step. They will never allow until you can produce that approval.
Good luck!
