Q: As-salamu alaykum, I am an Indian living in Dubai and I want to marry an Ethiopian woman who lives in her country. I would like to marry her as my second wife without the permission of my first wife, who lives in India. Polygamy is illegal under Indian law, so I am wondering if I would be prosecuted by the law in India or the UAE if my first wife files a complaint about this issue.

In accordance with the UAE Law of Personal Status, marriage is a legal contract between two people (man and a woman), focusing on protecting the rights of married people and their children. This contract requires certain conditions to be achieved before it becomes valid.

UAE Personal Status Law (also known as Personal Affairs Law) governs marriage, divorce, inheritance and other personal affairs in the United Arab Emirates. The law equally applies to citizens of the UAE and non-citizens unless one of them asks for the application of his home country law.
