His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan Bin Mohammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, has directed that the monthly salary threshold for marriage assistance provided by the emirate’s Amiri Diwan be increased from Dhs30,000 to Dhs50,000. The directive extends eligibility to individuals earning Dhs50,000 or less per month.
The directive follows a request from a caller on the Direct Line (Al Khatt Al Mubashir) programme, broadcast on Sharjah Radio and Television. The initiative aims to help young people begin married life and ease the financial burdens associated with marriage.
