| I hope you guys could enlighten me with some answers to these questions. Thanks in advance. :wink: 1. Is Dubai under Shariah (Islamic) Law? or a different law exists for this emirate? 2. Is it true that sharing of a flat/villa/apartment between a male and female is not allowed? 3. Is it true that a bachelor cannot rent his own flat/villa? 4. I've seen articles that public display of affection is considered "haram" in Dubai. If a male and female go out on public together, what "acts" are not allowed? |

Possible? Yes, and common. Legal? Not in "family areas" but a law that is mostly ignored. |

| 2. Is it true that sharing of a flat/villa/apartment between a male and female is not allowed? It is true. Legally male and female are not allowed to share an Apartment. But it is not uncommon to share apartments between male and female. |
