Do we have to be married?

18 years ago
Hi from South Africa!

We are considering a move to live and work abroad, preferably in UAE, Qatar or Bahrain. Our first major question is this - do we have to be legally married? We have been together for almost five years, have a son whio is almost four, but have never felt the need to go ad get legally hitched. We have some objections to the idea on several issues - but in terms of getting into say Dubai or Doha - how much of a hurdle will being unmarried be?

I look forward to hearing from someone!
