Marriages between Emiratis and foreigners - particularly Emirati men marrying non-Emirati women - has been an increasing trend since 2012, and is an issue of concern, the Federal National Council (FNC) heard on Wednesday.
The issue could "affect the population ratio", said Hamad Al Rahoomi, an FNC member from Dubai.
Al Rahoomi highlighted that an increase in mixed marriages should be a focal issue, as it is affecting the Emirati population. He noted that it has reached 50 per cent in one emirate. "I want to ask the Marriage Fund what ... they are doing about the growing trend? Are the trends being analysed and are solutions being (found)?" asked Al Rahoomi prior to the meeting.
The Marriage Fund grants allowances to Emirati couples for marriage. A part of the fund includes providing financial aid to grooms, as well as marriage counseling to couples.
