    Hello - allow me to correct some of the wrong facts mentioned here:
    We do not allow marital rape or violence in the UAE. There are ofcourse laws against any violation of human rights. We get fined for insulting people verbally or inflict any emotional damage. BY LAW.
    We also have associations dedicated to empowering women and guiding women who experienced violence (emotionally, legally and other wise). In fact in a court of law the women's claim of rape is taken into account as truth until proven otherwise, so there is a strong notion of protecting the woman's sacredness.
    We also can travel without anyones approval as women and no one can stop you from traveling if you wish to travel. We do not need consent forms, however as with any family system - having your family know and agree to your whereabouts is usually out of respect and security.
    As for cutting your hair or your presence online that too depends on personalised values of each family. We respect family values and believe that our decisions reflect on the eco system we live in: starting from the family to the culture and the country we live in.
    Divorce is handled legally and under the Sharia law there are rules that ensure the woman's rights are preserved such as custody and alimony along with many other settlements.
    Giving up on ones rights is a personal choice which is dependant on the person's preferences, personality, and perspective.
    If a person comes from a background where women are suppressed or surrounds themselves with people living under oppression they can live in an illusion of being suppressed themselves. It is a personal journey at the end of the day. One can always choose to seek solutions, communicate, find ways to be authentically free. Many women have done it, and it can be as painful or easy as one wishes it to be.
    Having said that, the law ensures everyone is treated fairly and in accordance with Sharia.
    I am sure that if you google women in the UAE you will find women leading in every field and representing all the different socio economical statuses from education, healthcare, engineering, sports, music .. etc.
    Having rebells in the family is also a natural phenomena and mental health conditions are on the rise globally. It is unethical to take that out of context and add some random incorrect facts to dismiss a whole country's legal and social system.
    I hope this shed some light and clarity.
    Blessings.

      Mariam Ketait, Do you believe having 6 wives is normal and does not violate human rights??

      @@OzKurd Hello OzKurd..
      By law a man is only allowed to have a second, third or fourth wife with the consent of the previous women, ensuring transparency and clarity.
      Should a man choose to have multiple partners - he is forced to have it legal and in public.
      Since having multiple relationships has been going on across all humanity and is subject to ones own belief systems, it is infact important to have it governed in a way which can ensure human rights are preserved.
      Different people are polygomous for different reasons, and different cultures have different value systems.. For example having multiple partners is considered an honor in some cultures - you can do your research on the different constitutions of partnerships and marriages in different countries from japan to africa.
      The mistress culture too, has been going on for centuries in europe and is still going on in many countries - which completely depletes women from having any rights.
      As for the law in the UAE it ensures the woman's rights are preserved for the first wife and she can choose to refuse her partner to have a second or third wife.
      As for the second wife and so forth - The "legality" of having multiple marriages is to ensure the women's rights are infact acknowledged instead of them being " hidden mistresses" and losing their rights all together.
      So yes, I believe that in this context it works well for the women who choose to partner with a married man.
      There is nothing enforced here and everyone is making a conscious decision and choice.
      As it is happening everywhere around the world. We only have it legitamized here to ensure fairness.

      Mariam Ketait, legitimising poligamy because of the sharia doesn't men it is a human right.
      There's no woman in the world would agree freely for her husband to marry another woman, let alone 4 or 6.
      All women who 'agree' to their husband marry another do it under pressure and fear.
      Human right mean right for all humans. Does the sharia allow women, too, to have 2-4 husbands? If not, then that sharia is not a human right and it's violating women's rights.

      @@OzKurd Hello dear, legitimising a relationship gives the people involved rights which can protect them by law- such as a home and custody or other things that come up in a marriage and a divorce. This is much different than not being in a legitimate relationship and being a partner on the side. Which as I mentioned is happening globally in many households and many women are left without anything, and the wives don't have a say in that matter.
      This is not to say that multiple marriages are encouraged, or that having multiple partners is the norm. However, many people have different views on what a "marriage" is and what they need from their partners. Transparency and communicating ones values and needs is the basis of the Islamic marriage contract - it is set in this way to avoid such conflicts in the future.
      As for the wife she can say no if she does not agree to her husband's second marriage. No one is forced to stay. Fear needs to be dissolved by education and awareness and communication.The systems are in place, and organizations to raise awareness are there, however many women around the world from different backgrounds and faiths unfortunately still choose to stay in relationships that abuse their human right. It is up to the woman to stand up for her right, as it is her job to say no if something is not working out for her.
      Many women have "sister wives" in different belief systems and that structure helps create a community and sisterhood.
      When you say " there is no woman in the world who would agree that her husband married another" - please do your research and maybe speak to other women on that manner and find out what is happening around the world and with different legal or social frameworks.
      As for women having multiple marriages - she can ofcourse get a divorce and marry another. The reason women have one partner is to avoid confusions of races of children and to ensure that the family knows where it is coming from and how it relates to others.
      Your point of view of having that "right" might not be my point of view, it is quiet arrogant to assume on my behalf as an Emirati woman that I do not have the "right" of having multiple partners. Maybe in my reality it is not a significant need.
      In my experience Sharia is preserving my rights as a woman, and my fellow sisters.
      Men and women around the world, no matte what their faith, belief systems or social structure is need to be more transparent about their values and needs and focus on how to create marriages that work for everyone involved. This is the basis of a marriage contract.
      Again, I hope this cleared this up.
      And if not- many blessings and much respect.
      Mariam

      Mariam Ketait Thanks for your reply, though it doesn’t clarify the main points I questioned.
      You are obviously suggesting what is based on religious belief to replace basic human rights and what basic human - the women in this case, nature, that is hoping for a single husband.
      If basic human and women rights were observed by your sharia (religious laws) then, Haya, Shamsa and Latifa and millions like them, such problems would’ve not existed.
      I know many women whose husbands married on their so-called ‘agreement, but I also know how much psychologically, socially, and financially they suffer, because they did not have much option, not even to divorce, because of so many social, family, legal, and psychological barriers, as well as the imbalance in gender power.
      These real social injustices and problems for women in the Islamic sharia that needs to be replaced by more non-religious laws observed by the State, to minimise such problems for women.
      You could argue that in countries with such state laws women situation is not ideal. Even if it is not, people can demand to change and improve much easier than when they are considered religious and came down from an Arabic, or Hebrew talking, so-called ‘God’.
      Hope people like yourself broaden their worldview to an etic prospective rather than a mere emic one, for the sake of the Human, justice, gender equal rights and not for the sake of the group, or belief system.
      The Group does not produce the individual, rather the individual makes the group. When individuals are healthy, then the society will be.
      Because individuals, and consequently societies suffered under an old group belief systems, Human Rights s were charted.
      Human Rights and Women right are ‘Human’ rights, not patriarchal group rights.
      Look after yourself and your fellow Emarati women.
