Dubai Announces 10-Day Leave for Marriage
Dubai has formally approved a 10-day fully paid marriage leave benefit for UAE national employees working in government departments, under a new decree issued by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai. This marriage leave initiative allows eligible employees to take 10 calendar days of consecutive or flexible paid leave for their wedding, with the option to combine it with other forms of leave if desired. The move reflects Dubai's commitment to strengthening family cohesion and supporting citizens during one of life's most significant milestones. The directive applies to Emirati employees across Dubai government departments and entities that oversee special development zones and free zones. Who Qualifies? To be eligible for this new benefit, the employee must meet the following criteria: Both spouses must be UAE citizens. The employee must have completed their probationary period. The marriage contract must be certified within the UAE and must have been concluded on or after December 31 of the previous year. A copy of the marriage contract must be submitted once when applying for the leave. Leave Rules and Flexibility The policy provides employees the flexibility to use their 10 days of marriage leave either continuously or intermittently within one year from the date of the marriage contract. During this period, the employee will continue to receive their full gross salary, which includes all allowances and financial benefits. Moreover, government departments are not permitted to summon employees while they are on marriage leave—ensuring uninterrupted time for family bonding— except in the case of military personnel, who may be called in if duty demands. By offering 10 days of paid marriage leave with clear eligibility and flexible use, Dubai reaffirms its commitment to supporting Emirati citizens as they embark on the journey of married life—reinforcing the value of strong families in a progressive, citizen-first society.

Sheikh Hamdan said: 'Distinguishing between human creativity and artificial intelligence has become a real challenge in light of today's rapid technological advances. 'This calls for a new approach to recognise the growing role of intelligent machines. That's why we launched the world's first Human–Machine Collaboration Icons, a classification system that brings transparency to how research documents, publications, and content are created'. He invited global stakeholders—researchers, writers, publishers, designers, and content creators—to adopt the new classification system and use it responsibly. All Dubai Government entities have also been directed to begin using the framework in their research and knowledge-based outputs.

Dubai's initiative is a global first and aims to establish a standard for responsible disclosure and ethical use of intelligent machines in content creation and knowledge production.
