            Obesity can be divided in to three causes. One of these couses is diet. Many people in the UAE eat too much fast food and there is too much food offered at every meal, like hareas. The Second cause of obesity is lifestyle. The people have sedentary jobs and they don’t do exercise and they don’t do physical work in their job. Also after marriage, exercise is not popular.

The marriage fund in the UAE


The marriage fund in the UAE helps people to marriage. Many people want to marry but they can’t. This is a complex problem with many serious and effects.
There are many reasons for the marriage fund. One of these reasons is that the marriage is expensive. As a result of this, the numbers of unmarried people are increasing. The other reason is that people take a loan to get married. After the marriage maybe he can’t repay the money back to the bank because he will have children. A final one for the marriage fund is that the Emirati people will marry non-Emirati women. A result of this, the number of women in the UAE not married is increasing.
This change has important effects. Money from the marriage fund will decrease the loans. The people will not go to the bank to get the loan like before. Another effect is that it will increase the number of marriages. A lot of people will get married when they want if they have the money. A final effect is that more UAE women will get married. People will have money to marry Emirati women and also they will not go outside the UAE to marry like before.
In conclusion, there are good reasons for this problem but it has serious effects on the individual. In future the number of unmarried women will decrease if the marriage fund continues.
