The UAE Marriage Fund

Getting married today in these current conditions is very hard. But the government has made a plan to make marriage much easier than before, because there were many effects caused by the difficulty of marrying local women. And they established the UAE Marriage Fund to solve these effects.

Thirty years ago marriage was simpler than now. Today the weddings cost more than anybody can imagine. Most Emirati people who want to get married today are taking a loan to cover those wedding requirements. Also the rest of the Emiratis are afraid to get married because they don’t want them to start them life with a big loan. And there is another type of local who gets married outside the UAE because it much cheaper and this is the most important problem because the numbers of single ladies in UAE is going up and the tradition here is judging us.

Today, the UAE Marriage Fund is helping local young people to get married with comfortable ways by giving them money and providing wedding halls with the lower cost. Also the Marriage Fund is protecting the young people by educating them from the risks of marrying non-national women. And there are many groups in the UAE who are requiring locals to get married with local women to reduce the number of single Emirati ladies.

In conclusion the government and the Marriage Fund are very helpful for young Emiratis. Also, they are improving their instructions to give to couples every year. And we hope from the Emirati families to be more eager about marrying their sons and daughters.

Obesity in the UAE

One of the problems we have in the UAE society is obesity in many people. Many reasons make the people obese and the solutions are not found by most of them. Some of those reasons are from lifestyle or education or mistaken beliefs.

Obesity in the UAE started to appear in 1990 when fast-food restaurants started to spread. Many Emirati people like fast-food until it has become a habit and the traditional foods has become as now a type of fast-food. Also, Emiratis’ lifestyle is very easy. It is a kind and relaxing life. These method situations made a lot of people lazy and not think about doing any kind of sports. The last reason is that UAE people don’t have good knowledge about healthy food. They like to eat everything even if it has a large amount of fat or calories.

To avoid obesity there are many ideas and solutions. The government has to open new kinds of restaurants which are offering only healthy food everywhere. Also they have to make a program for anybody who is overweight by registering him in a special club. The last solution is to advertise and teach the people how to choose healthy foods.

In conclusion, there are many ways to help and protect the UAE people from obesity, but we have to try hard to protect our health first. Because the responsibility for obesity is the person himself then the society.
