Living with wife and roommate, possible? Apr 17, 2010
We are planning on relocating our startup company to Dubai Internet City, and to save on costs I was planning to share accommodation with my business partner. We are in our 20s and it would be my wife, business partner (male) and myself.

I know that unmarried couple can't live together legally, but what about my situation? Would I be breaking any laws? I suspect I would have to be careful not to let my wife stay at home alone with my business partner?

Any thoughts?

As per rules it is illegal, only if your business partner is your Wife's brother or father.

But i know a hell lot of people do it, no one's really gonna come over and check unless someone actually reports you to the cops.

Not only it is illegal, but why would you also take the risk that your business partner shares your wife as well and your bank account? Only when it happens you realize too late that it happens all the time.
Don' t do it, it s an absolute NO NO

Yeah that's deepest, darkest, Sharjah though lol They've been through this argument in Dubai before, no one cared, they tried to enforce it and failed.

Why should someone break the law?. Laws are meant to be followed not broken.
