# Talk:Marriage in the United Arab Emirates

I'm really struggling with the sentence Under the UAE'S Personal Status Law, a woman's right to marry is granted if she consents; if her guardian is deemed to unjustly oppose the union, the court may transfer guardianship. It seems to be suggesting that a guardian's aproval is involved in most cases - and that a guardian can 'justly' oppose the union. Is this the case? The source isn't any clearer. -- D'n'B-📞 -- 22:34, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Prior to 2025, a woman needed her guardian's consent to get married [1]. The updated Personal Status Law now makes it so that if a guardian objects to a marriage, the court will determine if the opposition is "justified", and make their decision depending on that. It's up to the court's discretion, no info on what they consider unjust as of yet. jolielover♥talk 04:19, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
The way you phrased it right there was pretty clear, I'd suggest it says that in the article. -- D'n'B-📞 -- 19:03, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
