Most common Wedding questions
Abortion can result in a 7-year term of imprisonment in the UAE

Abortion is not allowed in the UAE. The statutes specify that anyone who aborts a child or assists in the abortion of a child commits a criminal act.

Continue reading to learn more about abortion in the United Arab Emirates and our ultimate advice for pregnant women.

Abortion law in UAE

Anyone who wants an abortion or assists in the abortion of a child is guilty of a federal crime.

Only if the pregnant woman’s or the child’s life is in danger can a pregnancy be terminated at any point. If the kid will not survive after birth, the pregnancy can be terminated if it’s less than 120 days long. A court order may also be used to terminate a pregnancy.

Anyone who aborts a pregnancy or conspires to abort a pregnancy will be prosecuted for a criminal offense.

New laws concerning children born out of wedlock

The most current UAE Penal Law includes a new provision for parenting children born out of wedlock. Anyone who has sexual intercourse with a woman over the age of 18 that results in the birth of a child faces a minimum of two years in prison.

The couple, on the other hand, will not face criminal charges if they marry. Confess joint or separate parental responsibility for the child. And issue the child’s official documents and passport in line with the laws of the country in which either is a national, as well as UAE law.

What’s the best solution for pregnant mothers?

We advise pregnant women to consider other options. Such as marrying the child’s father if the two have already discussed starting a family. Many countries, like Georgia and Seychelles, make it quite simple for couples to fly down and obtain their marriage license in as little as two weeks.

If you’re having an unexpected pregnancy and planning a wedding, give our team of legal wedding planners a call.

How to Perform Civil Marriage without Nikah

To get married in Oman, the bride and groom must both reside in the country. Unlike the reception, the ceremony (i.e. on the beach) cannot take place at the venue of your choice. By avoiding these hurdles, Muslim expats directly conduct the civil marriage without Nikah and get the official document from the consultant embassy.

Let’s hop on the article and learn do Muslim expats have the option of civil marriage without Nikah.

What is Nikah Marriage?

Muslim law stipulates that a couple must perform a religious ceremony prior to becoming legally married. It is the only way a man and woman can get married traditionally. Unlike in other cultures, Islam forbids an intimate relationship without the Nikah. By saying “I accept” in front of God, the Nikah legitimizes the relationship. 

Solemnize the Civil Marriage without Nikah

In Oman, civil marriage is not legal. The embassy may be able to assist if you cannot get married in a church, mosque or temple. Consult the embassies of the respective countries for more information.

The Department of Notary Public in Al Khuwayr will need to register your marriage within a month of your wedding. You will need the following information to register it:

  • Completing the application form
  • Ministry of Justice marriage notification
  • An Omani who marries a foreigner will need approval from the Ministry of Interior

It is possible to register either by a husband, wife, or a mother

Final verdict on the Civil Marriage without Nikah at your Dream Destination:

Organizing civil marriage instead of doing Nikah is best for those who intend to settle abroad. Nikah is not considered a legally bound document worldwide. Despite this, Muslim expats also do civil marriage in their respective country courts. In some cases, Muslim couples can do the marriages in both ways. Since civil marriage is not allowed in Oman, people tend to plan their weddings in the Seychelles, Georgia, or online.

As an expat, you will have to go through unimaginable amounts of documentation to start your new life. This process can take weeks or even months before you can finally get married.
