I know the UAE has a reputation for being strick, but didn't realise they were quite so down on unmarried couples! Just to clear up any confusion, I'm a guy and my partner is a girl. As far as we're concerned we're in a committed relationship for life were we've had a planned child. It's just neither of us have been bothered about making it official as we've always felt we had more important things to spend our money on. However, we would have nothing against getting married if there was a good reason for it, like a new job and lifestyle. (I know you're all thinking "How romantic!")

Do you think I could be open with them about this in the selection process or would I need to get married before I make contact? Feels like pretty extreme interview preparation, especially if I failed selection!

Thanks for all the information so far...
