Sharjah Charity Association to Hold Mass Wedding for 150 Couples

Sharjah Charity Association has approved 150 participants for its 12th mass wedding, scheduled to take place on November 24th, 2026, at Al Jawaher Reception and Convention Centre. The initiative aims to ease the financial burden of marriage for couples preparing to start their lives together.

The ceremony will be held under the patronage of Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and Chairman of the Sharjah Executive Council, coinciding with celebrations marking the UAE's 55th Eid Al Etihad.

According to Ali Mohammed Al Rashdi, Chairman of the Higher Committee for the Mass Wedding Project, the association has completed its review of applications and approved 150 grooms following assessments of their documentation and social circumstances. The selection process was designed to identify eligible applicants most in need of financial assistance.

All approved participants have been notified of their selection, with preparations for the ceremony's venue now complete.

Ahead of the wedding, the association will organise an awareness session for participating grooms, covering marital responsibilities, family relationships and preparations for married life.

The mass wedding forms part of Sharjah Charity Association's wider social support initiatives, which seek to make marriage more affordable and help couples establish financially stable households.
