MARRIAGE LAWYERS IN UAE

Best Marriage Consultant in Dubai (UAE)

In the UAE, registration of marriage falls under family law. Marriage is the only legal bond that permits a man and woman to establish a relationship and have children. All other forms of consensual relationships, such as line-in and same-sex relationships, are considered illegal in the UAE. The contract aims to protect the interest of the couple and their future children.

The UAE’s multi-national diaspora inspired the government to create marriage rules that are in tune with the UAE’s cultural norms and their home country. That is why if you intend to marry in UAE, you must follow multiple rules and possess many documents. Getting married in Dubai (UAE) is a bit tricky, especially when you are an expatriate. You require an experienced individual to guide you through the whole process. If you are an Indian citizen, our team also has Indian marriage lawyers in Dubai to make your job much easier.

Regardless of who you are or where you come from, you must have the following prerequisites and paperwork to go through with the marriage in Dubai or any other emirate of the UAE:

Written approval of the bride. Some consulates may ask for the groom’s declaration as well.
Notice for the intended marriage form, duly filled.
A sworn affidavit by the prospective couple duly attested by their consulate.
Passport size photographs (numbers may vary).
In Dubai, at least one of the parties must hold a UAE visa (husband, wife, or wife’s guardian).
In other emirates, all the parties must have a residence visa.
Pre-marital medical screening certificates for both couples issued by authorized agencies.
If any of the couples are on a tourist/visit visa, they need to undergo a complete medical check-up and produce proof of fitness.

Conditions to get married in Dubai

There are several conditions and rules to getting married in Dubai. It is essential that anybody who wants to be married in the UAE respects and abides by the law. Whether the person is a national or a foreigner, they must consider all the conditions. Following is just a glimpse of the most important requirements:

Marriage between two persons of the same gender (homosexuality) is prohibited in the UAE.
Legal registrations are a must for all marriages to be considered lawful.
Muslims in Dubai must also register the marriage at the court in their respective city.
Non-Muslims need to follow the guidelines of their respective embassies and consulates.
Online registration of the marriage before going to the marriage court is mandatory.
Any party under the age of 18 years requires approval from the chief justice of the Personal Status Court.

Divorce in UAE

Handling divorce and marriage dissolutions also fall under the scope of marriage and family lawyers in the UAE. The Sharia laws apply to Muslim couples, and all the decisions are based on them. The requirements in this matter are deeply evaluated, and couples are advised to get in touch with the Moral and Family Guidance Department and file the petitions for divorce. All divorce proceedings begin with typical steps involving trial for peaceful reconciliation. If all the measures fail, then the individuals are granted a divorce. For non-Muslims or expatriates, the rules of their countries are applicable.

Regardless of your nationality or religion, divorce proceedings are a tedious process. It becomes even more complicated when you need to divide common assets and child custody issues. The right and effective legal advice is the only solution for a successful outcome of such an emotionally exhausting process. Our divorce lawyers in the UAE have handled several cases and mostly aim for amicable resolutions.
