More Emirati women marrying foreigners
 

“Today, many educated Emirati women get married by conviction,” she said.

“After she has fulfilled her career and academic dreams, she may find another person of the same calibre and marry him, regardless of nationality.”

Age also played an important factor, Ms Lootah said, as women often felt pressured to tie the knot as they grew older. “Many of these women who pursue their aspirations end up getting older without a partner,” she said. “These women who find themselves aged 35 or above, not married, and cannot find an Emirati man or a man from the GCC, feel they must resort to finding another man to marry.”
