All you need to know about Divorce, Judicial Separation, and Annulment of Marriage in the UAE
In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), until very recently, Federal Law No. 28 of 2005 (the UAE Personal Status Law) was governing divorce and other family-related conflicts. Abu Dhabi Law No. 14 of 2021 (the Abu Dhabi Law) is a new law released by the Emirates of Abu Dhabi that primarily affects non-Muslims living in Abu Dhabi. Muslims in Abu Dhabi are still subject to the UAE Personal Status Law.
Divorce and Judicial Separation in UAE:
Judicial Separation is a process by which the court does not dissolve the marriage but allows the parties to live separately. The UAE laws do not provide for such a process, and therefore the parties may choose to divorce instead. Divorce is a legal process that dissolves the marriage contract between two individuals. In the UAE there are two types of divorce, namely mutual divorce and contested divorce. Mutual Divorce occurs when both the parties agree to end the marriage. Whereas, in a contested divorce one party usually files for divorce, and the other party disagrees to the request of divorce.
Annulment of marriage in the UAE:
As per the UAE Family Law, an annulled marriage is a cancellation of the marriage from the beginning. Annulment of marriage in the UAE is a legal procedure to cancel the marriage in such a way that it is completely erased, legally, and it declares that the marriage never technically existed and was never valid. A marriage may be annulled if it is against the public policy of the UAE.
