Did it ever occur to any of you MEN, that many women take pills for other reasons other than birth control?

They are also used to regulate the menstrual cycle and stop painful periods and other related problems.

Just because a woman is taking the Pill, does not mean she's s.e.xually active.

Deleted, not worth the agro

No I'm not. I was just trying to give realistic answers. You already said it was against the law, I didn't disagree with you. I made suggestions about how to behave IF the OP was not married to his/her partner. Even Dubai Police have reportedly implied living together is tolerated under certain circumstances (not that I would expect a newspaper article would be much of a defence in court should you end up there).

Who said I'm a man? The OP's implication is that they want the pill for birth control.

Last I checked, you could get them in a pharmacy.

okie

Just to clarify.
Most UK contraceptive pils are available (and very cheap!) in pharmacies in Dubai, so you can continue your original prescription with the same tablets rather than be picking up 'any old pil'.
It is also possible to ask your doctor in the Uk for 6 or 12 months prescription before you leave - just say you are working abroad for upto a year.
