'''Note:''' We're still trying to research if it's illegal to be pregnant and unmarried in Oman. Since it's illegal in the [[United Arab Emirates]] and [[Qatar]], and since Omani laws and customs share some similarity with these countries (along with notable differences), this may be the case - but we're still investigating. If you know the facts behind this open question, please contribute to this section. Thank you. | |||
