Post new topic

Flat-sharing in Dubai between a girl and a boy without marriage is common or not?

is it a good idea?

will appreciate responses

Hi Vishal,

Normally members of opposite sexes can't live together in same accommodation without being married in any country of the Gulf! It is "haram" (forbidden) in Islamic countries.

Although Dubai is more relaxed on this point than Sharjah (where police and religious authorities raid accommodations to check on this) it is not advisable at all because apparently even there a neighbour can denouce you to the authorities!

You can face emprisonment and deportation.

Cheers

No Vishal,

If you are in Dubai you will notice that it is very free (Sharjah is more strict due to some circumstances) : there are cinemas, night clubs, people can move around freely but don't forget that it is a muslim country and that there are certain things to respect.

Cheers
