Grooms Wanted

Arranged marriages may be strange to the Western culture, as they are viewed as a form of oppression or cruelty. However, for many people in the United Arab Emirates, it is a sign of a reliable merging of families and everlasting love.

It is not out of the ordinary that fathers would post advertisements in the newspapers so they can marry off their children to wealthy families. All different types of marriages are either successful or do not pan out, but the rate for arranged marriages in the UAE is higher than the norm.
