if you are caught then could be yes, but some people do it just dont advertise the fact.

Re: Cohabiting in the Middle East
I lived with my douglas hurd (now my trouble and strife) for a year in Mirdif. On about 3 occassions a man came to the door carrying out a 'survey' on residents in the area.
He DID ask how many people lived here, were we married etc..
I told him we were obviously and when he asked for our names, i referred him to my company HQ and asked him to divert any questions to them as it was their property...
Just be aware...
