A man walks past the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2020. DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES -- The United Arab Emirates announced on Saturday a major overhaul of the country's Islamic personal laws, allowing unmarried couples to cohabitate, loosening alcohol restrictions and criminalizing so-called "honour killings."
The changes also reflect the efforts of the Emirates' rulers to keep pace with a rapidly changing society at home. Another amendment allows for "cohabitation of unmarried couples," which has long been a crime in the U.A.E. Authorities, especially in the more freewheeling financial hub of Dubai, rarely enforced the law when it came to foreigners, but the threat of punishment still lingered for such behaviour.
Yeah right
Nothing new in this ! UAE is always has wide variety of freedom for everybody ... like Canada 🇨🇦!! But more strict agaist crimes and faster action !
Wow. Welcome to the 19th century
If a woman gets raped, is she still charged with adultery and jailed?
Anything to do with Big Bad Trump , peace deal? Hmm
Well that’s because the majority of the population basically constitutes of foreigners. Plus it has been de facto relaxed a while ago for said foreigners and it’s nothing like Saudi Arabia or Iran.
