The applicability of the recent cohabitation law on married couples

My wife lives with an Emirati in Ras Al Khaimah.

She claims that she can do that because of the recent cohabitation law in the UAE.

Is her interpretation of cohabitation correct?

Dear questioner,

Please note that the cohabitation law is applicable to unmarried couples. If your wife is having a relationship with another man despite being married to you, then you can file a criminal case against her for adultery.

You can contact us via phone or email for a detailed discussion and assistance in this regard.

Thanks!
