When I first visited Sealine (Dec 2005) I asked what the room rates were. Apart from being shocked at the price (600QR for a beach hut?!!) I was also informed that a marriage certificate would be requested at check in.
I'm guessing it hasn't changed.
But I've stayed at Rydges many times without a marriage certificate - and although my wife didn't join me in the room (nor did anyone else!) it wouldn't have been difficult. But I don't know what the reaction would be if you wanted to stay for a week ....
As e46m3 says, this is technically illegal in Qatar; your b/f (who is already here in Qatar) should work out a solution. Note that many people rent their apartments for a month in summer whilst they are away on holiday.
