31/3/2023

 
The UAE has implemented a non-Muslim family court for expatriates that came into force in February. As part of the new law, non-Muslim expat couples can obtain a civil marriage license in 24 hours.

In case the expat does not request for the application of the new personal status law, the court will apply the present law to the matter
