What documents are required to proceed with a second marriage?

Dear Questioner,

Second marriage is allowed under UAE law for Muslim men.

You do not need permission from your first wife for this, but you must be able to demonstrate the ability to fairly treat and provide for all wives financially and emotionally.

Required documents include Emirates ID, valid passports, application to marry form, and a contract adhering to second marriage rules.

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.

In Dubai, a Muslim man can enter into a second marriage without divorcing the first wife, as it is allowed under Islamic law.

The process involves obtaining consent from the first wife, drafting a marriage contract with the second wife, and providing documentation such as passports, Emirates IDs, proof of marital status, and witnesses.

The marriage should be registered at the local Sharia Court or Marriage Court, and applicable fees must be paid. Consult with us for guidance.

For any further legal assistance, you can WhatsApp us. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.

We will be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards,

Dear Questioner,

In Dubai, and the broader United Arab Emirates (UAE), the laws governing marriage are influenced by Islamic Sharia Law, which does permit a Muslim man to marry up to four wives at the same time, provided certain conditions are met.

These conditions are in place to ensure fairness and to protect the rights of all parties involved. To enter into a second marriage without a divorce, the following documents are required:

- Proof of Financial Stability: The husband must prove that he can financially support multiple wives and all his dependents.

- Identification documents (passport, Emirates ID) for both the groom and the bride.

- A valid residence visa if one or both parties are not UAE citizens.

- Existing marriage certificate(s) to prove the man is already married.

- Proof of financial stability, which could be bank statements or income certificates.

- In some cases, a medical fitness report may be required for both parties.

Dear Questioner,

The documents for a second marriage include Emirates ID, valid passports, application to marry form, second marriage rules contract, etc.
