Love may be a gamble but researchers have crunched the numbers to find out what the stats say about all things marriage related for couples in the UAE.

A new report published by the Abu Dhabi Statistics Centre reveals what marriage and divorce trends were like last year and the results are…equal parts interesting and random.

For instance, the most popular month for Emirati weddings is March and, ironically, the most popular month for divorces is also March

And June sees the lowest number of weddings

While September saw the fewest divorces

70.9 percent of all marriage contracts were between a “mixed” couple

Divorce among citizens reached 7.6 cases per 1,000 population

Of which, 28.2 per cent of the divorce cases last year showed that couples didn’t endure one full year in marriage, while more than 50 per cent of the couples didn’t complete 3 years after marriage

And the average age of marriage for Emirati men in Abu Dhabi stood at 27.2 years and at 24.2 years for women in 2016.
