A lot of people have said that it's illegal to live with your fiancee/girlfriend in qatar but a lot of people have told me also that it's not, although it's frowned upon...what is the truth??!!

that way they have to get married but how they can get married in Qatar when they are foreigners ? in their both embassies ? and what if they were different religions? like if one is Christian and other is Muslim or other?

it not allowed , it just that we cannot control the people's desire to live together. So for those who dare to live in such situation, they are old enough to decide how to face the consequences.

Like what they all say, living with your girlfriend (or boyfriend)without the sanctity of marriage is NOT ALLOWED in Qatar, and will continue to be so until you get married. Maybe your friend may know someone here who is living illegally with a BF or GF, but believe me, their lives is always at risk. There will always be a fear in their minds that one day the police will conduct a raid and they will be caught. So much better that you abide by the law.

It is illegal! And god forbid if your girlfriend gets pregnant, thats both of you behind bars! I know some people do, but its noy worth the wrath of the CID should you be found out!!

Technically it is not allowed, however people still saty together. Just have to keep it quite and dont advertise it too much. Just behave and act like your married. Keep it to yourself also helps..

It is illegal. Some people do it even though it is illegal, but all it takes is one neighbor to be offended by it and you get deported as this is a Muslim country and living together is considered a sin. Best get married first. Good luck.
