Hi

We would like to inform you that it is enough for a marriage contract to be concluded in the UAE that one of the spouses has a valid residency visa and therefore the marriage contract may be made under your residence. The following conditions are also required:

✓ The bride or groom must have a valid Residency Visa in the UAE.

     ✓ The other party must undergo a medical examination before their marriage.

     ✓ The Bride’s guardian's approval for the marriage. In case of the father's absence, the closest next-of-kin male can be the guardian, and in certain exceptional cases, the cleric sheikh himself may assume the guardian's role.

     ✓ The bride and groom must be residents in the UAE.

     ✓ Marriage formalities and requirements might vary from one situation to another; so the couples are advised to consult their countries' missions in the UAE to get additional details about all the necessary requirements
