UAE Single (unmarried) Pregnant Female = jail time = It's a crime to be a mother!

If you're not married and get pregnant in the UAE, you'll be in a bit of trouble.

A girlfriend/boyfriend defacto relationship in the UAE is illegal.

There are many cases of unmarried mothers in UAE ending up in jail (with their baby) after delivery, followed by deportation on completion of their sentence, because giving birth out of wedlock is a crime in the UAE.

Rather than end up in that situation, you can either leave the country and go to your home country, or get a wedding organised in a hurry.

Government hospitals in Dubai will probably give you a hard time if you go for maternity care without a marriage certificate and possibly notify the police. You'll definitely have a problem if you try and give birth while still unmarried.

The American hospital and Welcare hospital will be more helpful during ante-natal care but you'll still be in trouble if you end up giving birth there as a single mother.
