Have fun.....in Jail if get caught!

It is illegal to have live-in relationship in Qatar, inform your management (if unaware of the local laws).

Well if by 'can' you mean legal: no - it is not legal. On the other hand you would be far from the only couple doing that and it's not like the government is going to come knocking on your door asking for a marriage license. But if you do it, I would recommend you don't tell anyone, if someone were to report it you could be fined and possibly deported.

Hi,

Kalliwalli, go head…. Here in Qatar 75% phills live like that….. (But it’s against the law, at the same time no one will come & ask for your marriage certificate.)

No this is against the rules, the company should also know the rules.

Your company will not house opposite sex, non-married, non-related (i.e. brother and sister) couples in the same accomodation. It is against the law. If they try to do it, and someone complains about it YOU and your colleague will pay the price.
