Presumably a court wouldn't give permission for you to marry a non-muslim though?? And what about the husband, would they be given the permanent right to reside in the UAE??

These are still rumors though.

It might be true on a case by case basis. Let says if you're an expat and ceo of a reputable company, they might grant you citizenship for marrying a local girl. The court might also assess your assets!

greeting sister

salaaam 3aleekum

i will ask u ..do u love him so that u will lose ur family for him?

what if u marry him and offcorse u may lose ur passport as u say then he leave u ?

where r u going to live here or in europe ?

i dnt know if i can help u but i wanted to say what the future may bring for u if he leave u ?

we have diffrent culture and tradition im not being racist here but im talking about FACTS .AND on the other hand if non of this will happen go ahead !!
NOTE:i dnt think u will lose ur passport ..what will happen is that ur kids will not get alocal passport .

take care sister and i think u should pray (ESTE'7ara) and ask god .

(estekara or este'7ara)= prayer do it when they wana make big decision that may change their life.

Would this be a problem if she was marrying other arabs? Say Arab men from Lebanon, or Syria, or Jordan (as an example)???

it is the same the law stat that local girls should merry only locals .or from GCC ..i know its unfair but this is the law and we cant change it .SAD ha

Its rather racist.... Then again all Arab countries have enacted similar stupid laws. Lebanese women married to non-Lebanese (even Arab) men who have kids, those kids will never be Lebanese even if they lived in Lebanon all their lives, were born there, spoke Lebanese dialect, and referred to themselves as Lebanese.

So sad.

Its actually sad to see these local women not having the freedom to choose who they can mary. It must be hard to in Dubai especially, since most of the population here is expat.

i dont there there is such law which restricts emarati women to marry some other national, u all are mistaken it is un islamic, a woman can choose any one she wants to marry as long as he is muslim,

i personally no a brit guy who married an emarati woman, he converted to islam before marrying her, and as far as i know they both and theri famlies are very happy

You also have to look at it culturally. In Lebanon, a girl and her family is looked down on generally if she was to marry someone from a different culture (not Arab). In the Druze culture, a man or a women who married outside the religioun is then an outcast. Their own family would disown them.

correct

the problem is she cant carry the local passport any more and none of here kids will be local .

true
but if poeple both are in love they should'nt care about culture or nationality yes it would be difficult in the begining but eventually every thing will work out.

and its not only in lebenon, stuff like that happens every where priority should be given to the ethics, conduct and religion of the person u want to marry not nationality

are u sure about this. they cant just snatch the passport. she will have to give up the passport when she gets teh passport for her husbands nationality and there are many countries which give u the option for dual nationality

ans in the worst case senario so what if they are not emarati, if culture and nationality is so important for a emarati girl she shouldnt have married a non emarati in the first place

im sorry i missed that ..u r right ..the thing is her kids will not carry the local passport..thanx .

but locals cant have dual nationality and im sure about this one ..

Locals cannot have a recognized dual nationality.

In Canada, you are allowed dual nationality. Not triple. But I know people with 4 passports. So what the government doesn't know will not hurt them

Yep.

See a movie called The Syrian Bride. You will see how the Druze are. Interesting culture to put it respectfully.

mabrook, inshalla you will stay happy together for a long time to come.

my mum she married someone that wasnt local, at first her family shunned her, but now al humdulila they have become wiser and understand. i guess some things just take time.

sniper420 wrote:well I have a friend who is non-local but married a local girl. He is a national now. I guess he or she has to renounce the citizenship.

Well I wll think 101 times to marry local girl with 10 bros. Damn they will treat u like a dog!.
