I support this and long over due. Something similar has to be done in UK! It is not about nationalism but need to address a growing problem!!
I have seen many marriage problem relating to UK where muslimah and muslims are forced to opt for import option. When a suitable suiter is found, they should get married and not galavant across the world to get married. There are ofcourse genuine need but to some it is about customs. There 30000 muslimah of UAE national are unmarried. This has to be rectified. As for second marriage, there are too many perverts out there missusing the concept of polygomy!! Often they don't provide mantainance!! Plenty of such incident in UK!! I think I would have stated without certificate of some sort, one can not marry more then 1 wife.
Arabs tend to go for Labanises, Iranian and European option!

Your comparison is incorrect. In UK it means that a person who has born and raised here goes and gets married to a person born and raised in a different culture which may be an issue of compatibility.

In UAE or SAUDIA it often means a UAE person cannot get married to another person resident in UAE or Saudia, simply due to passport issues.

Furthermore what is this restriction of “Muslim & Arab”? And age restrictions and first wife business? Surely that’s meddling into affairs which the Shariah has permitted.

The solution (as Mufti Taqi Usmani) has recommended is to put safe guards in place to ensure that the rights of women are not abused and NOT to change the Shariah.

A person can easily do Nikah (without civil marriage) and live life so this will just drive issues underground.

In both UAE & Saudia a person can get Nikah done “unofficially” and as long as the relevant witnesses are present it cannot be regarded as breaking the law.
