An initiative called Medeem has been launched to encourage young Emiratis in Abu Dhabi to get married. Medeem, set up by the Department of Community Development (DCD), is intended to help them plan simpler and more affordable weddings and was launched after studies showed that high cost is one of the main reasons why Emiratis either choose not to marry or to do so later in life.
