OVERVIEW
Contraception
Laws & Social Stigmas
You can buy oral contraceptives over the counter in most pharmacies. Legally, it's not completely clear what is allowed or not allowed -- but it is informally unavailable, and women generally report no problems finding the pill. There have been British media reports of Dubai pharmacists allegedly asking women for marriage certificates before issuing birth control pills. But these reports have been seen to be exaggerations or falsifications, as reported by expats and ob/gyns in the area.
