Can two non-Muslim foreigners marry at the Abu Dhabi civil marriage court?

Yes, two non-Muslim foreigners may marry at the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department's civil marriage service established under Abu Dhabi Law No. 14 of 2021 on Civil Marriage and Its Effects. This law explicitly permits non-Muslim expatriates to conclude a civil marriage contract before an Abu Dhabi judge without reference to their home-country laws or religious requirements. **Practical steps:** 1. **Eligibility check**: Both parties must be non-Muslim, at least 18 years old, and not currently married. You will need valid passports, UAE residence visas (or entry stamps), and proof of single status (typically a certificate of no impediment from your home country or embassy, attested if required). 2. **Book an appointment**: Access the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department's online portal or visit the Family Court to schedule a civil marriage session. The court will provide a standard civil marriage contract template. 3. **Attend the ceremony**: Both parties appear before the judge with two witnesses (also non-Muslim adults). The judge conducts the ceremony, and you sign the civil marriage contract, which is then registered and enforceable in Abu Dhabi. The resulting certificate is recognized for UAE residency sponsorship and other administrative purposes. Confirm current document requirements and fees directly with ADJD before your appointment.
