Is it legally acceptable to give birth in the UAE if the mother is single?

Dear Client,

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the legal considerations of giving birth in the UAE when the mother is single and the father is married.

Under the current UAE laws, it is permissible for a single mother to give birth, and for both parents, regardless of their marital status to each other, to declare their biological parentage to obtain a birth certificate for the child.

The recent legal reforms have made it possible for children born out of wedlock to be registered, provided that both parents acknowledge the child and submit the necessary identification and documentation as required by the authorities.

The marital status of the father does not prevent the registration of the child, as long as both parents complete the legal procedures, including signing the declaration of parentage and providing valid identification.

It is important to ensure that all documentation is submitted within the required timeframe to avoid any administrative complications.

If you require assistance with the process or have specific questions about the documentation needed, please feel free to contact us. We are available to guide you through every step to ensure full compliance with UAE regulations.

Best regards,

Hello,

According to UAE law, it is not permissible for a woman to give birth if she is not married. If the mother is single and the father is married, the child will be considered illegitimate and may face legal and social challenges in the future.

Additionally, it is illegal for a married man to have a child with a woman who is not his wife. Therefore, it is not recommended for a woman to give birth in the UAE if she is not married to the child's father.

If the parents do decide to declare themselves as the biological parents to obtain a birth certificate, they may face legal consequences for falsifying information.

Hello,

In the UAE, giving birth to a child out of wedlock, especially when the mother is single and the father is married, can be legally sensitive due to strict laws regarding family status, marriage, and legitimacy.

UAE law generally requires that the parents be legally married for the child to be registered straightforwardly with a birth certificate listing both parents.

If the parents are not married, the child may face difficulties in obtaining a birth certificate that recognizes the father legally, and there could be potential legal and social complications.
