Omanis Citizens Earning RO600 Or Less Can Now Apply For Marriage Aid
Citizens of Muscat Governorate with monthly incomes of RO 600 or less are now eligible to apply for marriage support under a new government initiative. The activation of the Marriage Fund Support Request Service comes as part of royal directives to roll out marriage assistance across all governorates in Oman. The initiative, launched by Muscat Governorate, is intended to ease the financial burden of marriage for eligible Omani citizens and is accessible through the governorate's official website. To qualify, applicants must meet specific criteria: they must be Omani nationals between the ages of 22 and 45, have never been married, reside in Muscat Governorate, and be marrying another Omani citizen. In addition, their monthly income must not exceed RO 600. Required documentation includes copies of the applicant's ID card, a certified marriage contract, and an employer-endorsed salary certificate. Applications can be submitted online or via email and are subject to a verification process. Once reviewed, eligible applicants will be notified by phone. The service is free of charge, and the review process typically takes up to 30 working days. The rollout in Muscat follows a directive by His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik to establish a national marriage support fund. Each of the Sultanate's 11 governorates has been allocated RO 1 million to implement the program, with full activation expected by the end of June. The initiative was a key agenda item in the year's first governors' meeting, chaired by Sayyid Hamoud bin Faisal al Busaidi, Minister of Interior. The meeting emphasized aligning local development priorities with the Sultan's vision of decentralization and strengthening community participation in governance. Further details regarding application procedures and eligibility in other governorates are expected to be announced soon by the Ministry of Interior.
