Who Can Get Married Through Dubai Courts?

Dubai Courts provides different procedures for civil and legal or Sharia marriages. For a Dubai civil marriage, both parties must be non-Muslim, at least 21 years old, and at least one party must be a Dubai resident.

Sharia marriage requirements depend on the couple’s religion and circumstances. They may include Dubai residency, premarital medical screening, witnesses and the bride’s guardian. Any previous marriage must also have legally ended before a new marriage application can proceed.
