Do i need to convert to get married in sharjah

You don’t need to convert for a civil marriage in Sharjah.

In Sharjah, if you are pursuing a civil marriage, conversion is not necessary. However, under Islamic law, specific rules apply if the bride is Muslim and the groom is non-Muslim; he must convert. If the groom is Muslim, the bride can retain her faith as long as it is recognized (like Christianity or Judaism). Civil marriages offer more flexibility than religious ceremonies.

– Non-Muslim groom can marry Muslim bride only after conversion.
– Muslim groom can marry non-Muslim bride without her converting.
– Civil marriages are more straightforward than religious ones.

For more clarity on marriage options in Sharjah, consult a local wedding planner or legal expert.
