Getting Married Under Sharia Law in the UAE: A Practical Guide

How the process works

1. 1

   Check whether Sharia rules apply to you

   Islamic marriages are conducted according to the Sharia provisions, regardless of nationality, where both the groom and the bride are Muslims, or where the groom is Muslim and the bride is from 'Ahl Al-Kitaab', such as Christian.

2. 2

   Know who conducts the marriage

   Islamic marriages are conducted by the UAE's judicial departments and Sharia courts, or through the services of authorised marriage officials, known as Mazoons, in each emirate.

3. 3

   Arrange the guardian's offer and the acceptance

   The marriage requires the offer by the guardian, in case the wife is Muslim, and the other's acceptance. This does not apply where the woman is a Muslim of another nationality and the law of her country does not require her to have a guardian in marriage.

   Complete the mandatory medical screening

   The medical screening is a mandatory requirement for Sharia marriages for Muslims only. A marriage contract cannot be registered without a valid medical certificate for both parties.

   Apply and complete the contract online

   The service allows marriage contracts to be completed online at every stage: submitting the marriage application, booking an appointment, selecting an authorised marriage official, and paying the fees electronically.

   Ask about marriage support and preparation

   UAE law grants eligible recipients a financial amount of AED 70,000, to be paid in one installment, to support marriage costs. Both spouses must also complete the 'I'edad' programme for marriage preparation within one year from the date of application. Confirm current eligibility and any amounts on the authority's website.
