Nice one...I shall not take any insult given I am a product of a mixed marriage albeit not Emirati!
The Grand Mufti of Dubai has called for restrictions on Emiratis marrying outside their nationality.
“In Islam, choosing your life partner is a personal freedom,” he said, speaking at a Ramadan majlis on Sunday night. “But personal freedoms can be restricted for the benefit of the public interest.”
Mixed marriages are more likely to end in divorce and their children are more likely to commit crimes, some experts at the majilis said.
“There should be very specific circumstances for when such marriages are allowed,” Dr al Haddad said. “Such as when a man is too old and cannot find an Emirati to marry him, or when he wants to take a third of fourth wife for certain reasons and no Emirati woman agrees to do so.”
Social experts have attributed the escalating trend to the large dowries demanded by Emirati women – as much as Dh800,000 – and to high wedding ceremony expenses that have reached Dh1 million.
