The requirements to marry an Emirati woman while being in home country

I’m an Emirati woman, and I want to ask:

What is needed to marry a Muslim foreigner who lives in his country?

Will I need a guardian approval? If I’m divorced?

Thanks for your query!

There are certain requirements that may differ depending on the place where the marriage is going to be concluded.

For example, there are certain restrictions on the UAE woman who obtained her citizenship by naturalization. However, if you are a native UAE woman, this should not be a problem taking into consideration that your future husband's age should not be double your age and he must be resident in the UAE and competent.

Hence, if he is competent and your father is not agreeing on the marriage, the judge, in this case, can act as your guardian. You may call me to discuss this further.

Best regards,

What if he’s not a resident of the UAE? What is required from him?
