Study reveals that family cohesion among Emirati spouses is 97 per cent
Pre-marriage counselling lectures have helped reduce divorce cases among Emirati couples in recent years as many families with rocky conjugal ties have been choosing reconciliation over separation, recent data showed.
A report issued by the Ministry of Community Development said divorce rates among Emiratis benefitting from marriage grants had decreased from 14 per cent in 2015 to 4 per cent at the end of 2020.
Officials revealed that the results of a recent study, which was conducted in cooperation with the Federal Competitiveness and Statistics Authority and UAE University, on the index of “family and community cohesion among UAE citizens” showed a significant increase in the national belonging index among members of citizen families, which stood at 99 per cent.
