	PakDef Forums - Weddings generate up to 80 per cent of the UAE’s consumer credit
		Emirati women seem, increasingly, to be the target of new government restrictions.
		At present, any child born to an Emirati parent is automatically considered a UAE citizen, but new proposals would limit that right to children born to Emirati fathers.
		The proposal has far-reaching implications, because an Emirati woman divorcing a foreign husband would find it almost impossible to win custody of her children — in the event of the court ruling granting custody to the wife, her children could, technically, be stateless.

	BBC NEWS \| Programmes \| Crossing Continents \| Why Emirati weddings are getting less lavish
		Usually Emirati weddings are private but opulent affairs, with as many as 1,000 guests, expensive light shows and fabulous, fairytale outfits for the bride.
		Among the local Emirati population, these mixed marriages are now seen as a worrying dilution of a group which is already a minority in their own country.
		Emirati nationals are outnumbered four to one by foreign workers -- and there's now a new drive to protect the identity and the culture of the local population.

		Journalists’ rights to report uncensored have been pushed aside during the brutally efficient transformation of this tribal society and Emirati nationals are learning that cultural and societal transformation cannot be as easily manufactured as the fantastically equipped cites rising from the desert.
		But most Emirati entering the office of a media organisation head for the boardroom rather than the news room due to the perception that the media often peddles ideas that are at odds with the Muslim way of life.
		The key to flushing out censorship from the UAE media lies with the Emirati nationals themselves, as Scudder concludes: “I believe there is a genuine intent from the ruling family to develop the media.

		This unprecedented initiative comes in line with Her Highness' unflagging efforts in the pursuit of the empowerment of the Emirati woman, the elevation of her status, and the encouragement of her participation in the various developing sectors of the nation.
		Her Highness Shaikha Fatima emphasis on the amplitude of including women in such leading projects is considered an important step, and a historical milestone, that reflects the gigantic leap that the status of Emirati women has undertaken, triggered by Her Highness' devoted support.
		Undoubtedly, Emirati women's entry into the investment and company foundation domain based on women quotas holds a sharp vision that goes beyond the employment of capital.
