If they have any offices overseas, then it absolutely is taken into account as a

potential cost of doing business (overseas English schools for the kids can get very expensive, as can actual relocation costs, not to mention, legal issues for single women doing business as expats in the UAE). Like it or not, it's a business cost decision.

I think dual income vs. single income changes your perspective quite a bit

buffgato

I'm still unclear on why her being single is relevant - can you explain please?
