"Realtors renting villas to bachelors to lose licence" by Ashfaq Ahmed for Gulf News:

Dubai: Action will be taken against real estate agents or companies if they rent villas to bachelors, said a senior official.

Dubai Municipality has started taking stringent measures to ensure that bachelors do not stay in villas and the steps are being taken as part of the campaign to ensure the eviction of bachelors from villas, said Omar Mohammad Abdul Rahman, Head of the Building Inspections Section at Dubai Municipality.

He told Gulf News the municipality will not hesitate to cancel the trade licence of a real estate company if it rents villas to bachelors. "Action, including cancellation of the trade licence, will be taken against companies if they rent villas to be used as a labour accommodation or to lodge executive bachelors there," he said.

He defined bachelor as a single person whether married or unmarried, male or female. Even single women are not allowed to stay in villas meant for families. He said there are no restrictions on bachelors staying in flats anywhere in Dubai.
The municipality had started a campaign against bachelors living in villas about two years ago following complaints from families that villas are being used as labour accommodation leading to social and moral issues.

"We receive at least 20 to 25 complaints every day about bachelors staying in villas," Abdul Rahman said. The municipality also warned families living in villas not to rent rooms to bachelors.

If you are a Muslim and you want four wives..no problem. If you want a "marriage of convenience" to help pass those cool desert nights…no problem. If you’re single…then you have a problem.
