UAE Legalizes Pre-Marital Sex

On November 27th, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) announced the arrival of a new criminal code, effective January 2022. Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president of the UAE, approved the wide-ranging legal reforms in what is called the "largest legislative reform in [UAE's] history. The announcement included a huge change towards laws on premarital relationships. According to the Emirates News Agency, the Federal Crime and Punishment Law changes will decriminalize consensual relationships out of wedlock. However, any child conceived due to the relationship needs to be acknowledged and cared for by any parent. The new changes will require the couple who has the child outside of marriage to either get married or acknowledge the child as theirs. Failure from both parties to do so and provide the necessary documentation will result in a criminal case. The reforms also impose harsher sentences for sexual assault crimes, decriminalize alcohol consumption, and end the leniecy towards "honor killings."
