Declaration of No-Marriage Status in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, UAE

It states that she is divorced, has not remarried since her divorce, and that her divorce is considered either an irrevocable minor or major divorce, with no waiting period (idda) left.

When is a Declaration of No-Marriage Status Requested in Abu Dhabi?

A Declaration of No-Marriage Status is frequently required when a civil marriage is being contracted, by Federal Decree-Law No. 41 of 2022, which mandates both parties disclose they have no ongoing marital relationships. For UAE nationals and Muslim expatriates governed by the UAE Personal Status Law No 28 of 2005, the marriage contract requires a statement from the woman confirming she is not remarried. The man clarifies the number of wives he has.

A woman may have been divorced without her divorce being registered, or she may still be married without the marriage being formally documented. In such cases, she cannot marry another man unless she proves and legally registers the divorce at the court.
