Couples can now legally get married online in Abu Dhabi for AED 800 through the government’s integrated digital platform, TAMM.
According to the website, the service enables users to apply for and complete a marriage contract in accordance with Islamic Sharia provisions through a video conference call.
This digital procedure eliminates the need for physical visits to government offices, streamlining the marriage process for Emiratis, residents, and even visitors.
