Avatar

In a move to decrease the number of unmarried women in the UAE, Emirati men with two wives will now be granted a housing allowance.

The announcement was made at theĀ Federal National Council session on Wednesday where the UAE Minister of Infrastructure Development, Dr Abdullah Belhaif Al Nuaimi, statedĀ “the second wife should be provided with the same living arrangements as the first wife,” according to the Khaleej Times.

The aim is to decrease the number of unmarried women and solve the ‘problem of spinsterhood’ according to another FNC member.

Another plan proposed was deemed unfair

Another plan suggested attaching an ‘attachment’ to the main home, for the second wife, however this was deemed unfair to the second wife.
