#Civil Personal Status Law for Non-Muslim Expatriates (Abu Dhabi Jurisdiction)
A landmark Civil Personal Status Decree was enacted on November 7, 2021, by His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, transforming the legal landscape for non-Muslim expatriates in Abu Dhabi.
Key Features:
1. Civil Marriage & Divorce:
Non-Muslim residents can now enter into or dissolve marriages under civil law, separate from religious court proceedings.
2. Joint Custody Rights:
The law enables joint custody arrangements, simplifying proceedings and promoting balanced parental responsibilities.
3. Simplified Court Process:
Legal matters are adjudicated by a single judge, ensuring faster, more streamlined resolutions.
4. Gender Equality:
Equal legal rights are upheld for men and women across testimony, divorce, custody, inheritance, and other family matters.
Multilingual Access & Representation
While the court operates in Arabic, English translation services are available. Non-Muslim judges may also preside over cases.
We are uniquely positioned to support non-Muslim clients navigating these new legal frameworks, offering end-to-end guidance for all matters under the decree — from divorce to custody to inheritance planning.
