Marriage is a big deal it is one of the pillars of life.  However, the Emiratis men prefer to get marry from outside country.  Two causes which are high cost of dowries and number of conditions and requirements. Also two effects which are the large number of spinsterhood and negative impact on the Arabic language.
   
There are many reasons why Emiratis men prefer to marry from outside country.  One of the main reasons is   high cost of dowries.  The Emiratis women’s ask for a lot of many when they get marry to prepare for the wedding.  The dowries can up to 200,000 DH and more it depends on the family.  Which make it very difficult for the men to collect such amount of money this also cause the men a lot of trouble if they took the money from the bank or someone.   The other reasons are number of conditions and requirements.  For example, the braid may ask for more than one party which will require more money for the dinner and some gifts. Another condition the braid may ask that she have her own home and housemaid.  Therefore, the men will reconsider twice before they think to marry a local woman.
   
 These reasons will lead to have two effects.  One, the number of spinsterhood will increase.  This will make the women also to consider marrying someone from outside their country which might cause to lose their identity. Also their children will not have the emirate national and lose the right to have free education and healthcare.  Marrying from another country will have negative impact on the Arabic language. Children spend a lot of their time with their mothers; therefore they take her language and can’t speak a proper Arabic. This also can cause some trouble for them in the school because the children might tease them for not knowing how to speak Arabic.
   
In conclusion, there are reasons why men consider marrying a foreigner and these reasons will lead to have negative impact on both gender. My opinion, men should to marry from their country and women should not ask the men to spend a lot of money for the wedding.
