- Right to Choose a Spouse: Women have the right to marry a partner of their choice, even if their guardian objects. For Muslim women who are non-citizens, guardian consent is not required if their nationality law does not mandate it.
- Legal Marriage Age: The minimum legal marriage age is set at 18 years. If an individual above 18 faces guardian refusal, they may appeal to a judge. The law also allows couples below the majority to manage marriage-related matters independently without requiring guardian approval.
- Age Difference: If the age gap between the bride and groom exceeds 30 years, the marriage can only proceed with court approval.
- Engagement Definition: Engagement is legally defined as a marriage proposal accompanied by a promise of marriage, but it does not constitute a legal marriage.
- Returning Engagement Gifts: Gifts given under the condition of marriage may be reclaimed. If the value exceeds Dh25,000, they can be returned in kind or based on their value at the time of receipt, provided they are not consumable items.

Marital Residence:
A wife is entitled to reside in a suitable marital home unless otherwise specified in the marriage contract.

Shared Residency:
- A husband may live with his wife along with his parents and children from previous marriages if he financially supports them, provided it does not cause harm to the wife.
- A wife may reside with her children from a previous marriage if they have no other guardian or if separation would harm them, subject to her husband's explicit or implicit approval. However, the husband has the right to withdraw consent if he is negatively impacted.
- If both spouses share ownership or lease of the marital home, neither may allow additional occupants without mutual consent.

Custody Regulations: The law clarifies that leaving the home or working does not violate marital obligations, reinforcing the importance of family welfare.
Revised Custody Age: Custody rights have been modified to prioritize the best interests of the child. The termination age for custody is now 18 for both boys and girls, ensuring uniformity.
Child’s Preference: Children aged 15 and above can choose which parent they wish to live with.
Educational Authority: The custodial mother is granted authority over the child’s education to ensure decisions align with the child’s best interests.
Legal Documents: 
- Individuals who turn 18 are entitled to retain their passports and identification documents unless a judge rules otherwise.

- Custodians may hold legal documents but cannot use them for travel without the guardian’s or court’s permission. Any misuse, violation of guardianship, or harm to the ward’s interests allows the guardian to reclaim the documents, with future access only granted through court approval.

- The father is responsible for covering the costs of obtaining and renewing the child’s legal documents.

Penalties: The new law imposes strict penalties, including imprisonment or fines ranging from Dh5,000 to Dh100,000, for offenses such as misappropriating a minor’s property, unauthorized travel with a ward, and neglecting parental responsibilities.
Use of Gregorian Calendar: The Gregorian calendar will be used for all time-related calculations under this law unless stated otherwise.
