Marriage grants for 253 Emiratis have been approved, valued at Dh9.7 million.
Dr Maitha Al Shamsi, Minister of State and Chairwoman of the Marriage Fund, approved the grants – the eighth batch this year.
They were transferred to the bank accounts of beneficiaries, who each received an SMS text message to confirm the grant.
Dr Al Shamsi praised the “government creativity laboratory” experience and said the marriage fund would adopt creative ideas to build cohesive Emirati families.
