If the kid will not survive after birth, the pregnancy can be terminated if it&#8217;s less than 120 days long. A court order may also be used to terminate a pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone who aborts a pregnancy or conspires to abort a pregnancy will be prosecuted for a criminal offense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Consequences of illegal abortion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A potential punishment of five years in prison awaits anyone who wilfully aborts a pregnant woman by giving her medication or by any other procedure that results in abortion. If the crime is committed without her consent, she will be punished with seven years in prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What&#8217;s the best solution for pregnant mothers?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We advise pregnant women to consider other options. Such as marrying the child&#8217;s father if the two have already discussed starting a family. Many countries, like Georgia and Seychelles, make it quite simple for couples to obtain their <a href=\"https:\/\/easyweddingdubai.com\/uae-wedding-packages\/\">marriage license<\/a> in two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>If you&#8217;re having an unexpected pregnancy and planning a wedding, give our team of legal wedding planners a call.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new UAE Penal Law decriminalized extramarital affairs and added allowances for unmarried parenting.
