Ignore some of the comments on this thread, Vanillashake, it's obviously a mental age thing!
No, pre-marital nookie is not illegal here...getting caught is! An unmarried British couple were recently caught 'In Flagrante Delecto' (I don't think I need to translate that!) in a car...unfortunately because her backside kept beeping the horn!!!! They were fined, put in prison for a couple of months and will be deported when they are let out.
Lots of couples living together here, however keep it low key and quiet and no-one will trouble you. The situation is different depending upon which Emirate you are in. Sharjah is much more intolerant and you may only live in a house with other women or with your immediate blood family.
As far as I am aware, pre marital intimate relationships do not exist in Ras Al Khaimah...well not with women anyway!
