The goal of the promotion plan is to highlight the capabilities of the Abu Dhabi Civil Family Court, which is an unprecedented, cutting-edge, and contemporary family court model and is one of the milestones of Abu Dhabi’s pioneering development in this field, as well as to introduce visitors and tourists to Civil Marriage Services for foreigners and how to take advantage of such services and consummate marriage while they are in the country.

It is important to note that the Abu Dhabi Law on Civil Marriage and its Effects embodies the drive to develop an integrated system to achieve excellence and leadership at the global level considering that Abu Dhabi is the only city in the Arab world to implement Civil Laws for Foreigners and non-Muslims in matters of personal status, which strengthens its position and competitiveness as a destination for competencies and expertise from all over the world.
