Sheikh Mohammed congratulates Emirati newlyweds with signed cards

Dubai - The gesture emphasises Sheikh Mohammed's support for simple weddings during the pandemic, which focus on core values of marriage.

Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has surprised dozens of newly married Emiratis who organised simple and low-cost wedding parties in their homes as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic with special greeting cards signed by him.
Given that weddings have became simpler, more affordable and focused on the happiness of family and friends, Sheikh Mohammed decided to congratulate his Emirati sons and daughters. He also stressed that the true value of marriage is about building a coherent, interconnected UAE family which is filled with love and synergy.
Simplicity deepens all values of marriage and is greater than any variables and circumstances, he added.
The Federal Youth Authority, through its digital platforms, has surveyed around 5,000 Emirati male and female youths on social media platforms about the future of marriage. More than 90 per cent of the participants expressed their support for simple celebrations, and the importance of focusing on values and principles that establish a successful marriage and build a coherent family.
