11:38Now PlayingRecently, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) announced a significant overhaul of the nation's Islamic personal laws. The reforms now allow unmarried couples to cohabitate, loosen alcohol restrictions and criminalize so-called "honour killings." The expansion of personal freedoms reflects the changing profile of a country that has sought to market itself as a Westernized destination for tourists despite its Islamic legal code. The changes include scrapping penalties for alcohol consumption, sales and possession for those 21 and over. Attempted suicide will also be decriminalized. To better "protect women's rights," the government said it would get rid of laws defending "honour crimes." The punishment for a crime committed with the intention of avenging a family's honour for a woman's promiscuity or disobeying religious and cultural customs will now be the same for any other kind of assault. The move follows a historic U.S.-brokered deal to normalize relations between the UAE and Israel.
