My wife and I are considering a move to Dubai. I'm Christian (Canadian), she's Muslim (Malaysian) and neither one of us is particularly religious. We were married in Canada under a civil ceremony. Her name will clearly identify her as a Muslim. Are we going to have major issues living in Dubai? Will the civil marriage be recognised (for example, Malaysia does not recognise that we are married). What if we have children while we are there?
Would love to hear from anyone who has first hand knowledge. Have searched the board but can't seem to find anything on our particular circumstances (also can't believe this hasn't come up for somebody before). Thanks.
