The legal repercussions for an unmarried couple to live together in the UAE

Thank you for your inquiry!

Until now, it is illegal for an unmarried couple, or even unrelated flatmates, to share a home in the UAE, however, a new law has been announced but has not been endorsed yet allowing unmarried couples to live together.

However, the full copy of the new law has not been yet released or published to identify the conditions of the married partner being in a relationship with another partner.
