Dear Questioner,

Under Sharia Law, applicable in the UAE, marriage is the only legal bond for establishing a relationship and having children.

If you are unmarried and pregnant, you should get married before the baby is born.

We are both not UAE nationals. We are both expats. Is that okay?

I am from Bangladesh and my girlfriend is from the Philippines.

We want to get married, but she accidentally got pregnant. Is it okay to get married while she is pregnant?

Yes. Nothing stops you.
