Violation of Human Rights in Dubai

Dubai presents itself as modern and liberal. Dubai is positioned as a global hub, branded as an expatriate paradise. But according to Human Right Organization Dubai basically violates human rights. Sharia law which is followed by Courts of Dubai is the reason of a violation of human rights in Dubai. Emirate women must receive permission from the male guardian to marry and remarry. The requirement is derived from Sharia and has been federal law since 2005. In all emirates, it is illegal for Muslim women to marry non-Muslims. In the UAE, a marriage union between a Muslim woman and non-Muslim man is punishable by law, since it is considered a form of fornication which violates Dubai women rights. Even the head of the personal status court admits publicly that the personal status law is outdated and permits abuse.
