Yes, you can get married here but approval from each embassy will be required, and each of you should be male and female no other exceptions, and you can file for the marriage easy in the UAE.

Dear Questioner,

You can for sure get married here in the UAE after you get written approval from both embassies.

If you need any further information or legal assistance, do not hesitate to contact us on the phone or by email.
