[QUOTE]Originally posted by zena777: [QB] Hello, Well I have been doing research on egyptian men here in egypt for the last 10 months. For your situation regarding ofri marriage first of all there is a sever punishment taken if a women is caught with ofri marriage you can actually be imprisioned for it if it is not legally registered at the local court system. As of year 2000 ofri marriages have been accepted but the problem is that the man will not in anyway have to pay any dowery to you and can walk away at anytime. In other words his legal way to have sex with you. But if you wish to divorce him you cannot divorce him he must divorce you by saying the word twice with or without witnesses. If you don't get divorced and there are problems in the relationship he can actually have you arrested and imprisoned for up to 6 yrs. As for the issue about passport no one can do nothing to you your a foreigner in there country in year 2000 they passed a law that allows egyptian women to leave the country without a husband's permission. I want you to be careful because men here are using women to get your money and get a visa outside your country. Please be careful because I have heard of sever problems arising from this there are posting on the USA embassy and other postings on various embassies. There are 80 million egyptians living in poverty here and men between the ages of 20-35 are having difficulty finding a half decent salary in working. Some work for less than 50 dollars a month. As well you must go to the court house to marry in egypt there is no other legal marriages other than that. But be careful he could be married ufri and your become his second wife since it is legal to marry up to 4 wives in egypt. Good luck !!!! [QUOTE]Originally posted by Rainbow1986: [b]Hi, Looking over these topics i can see this has been covered many times before. I expect many of you will read this and think i am very nieve, and maybe i am but i am clinging onto the hope that maybe i have not made a big mistake after all! I went on holiday to Egypt a couple of months ago. Being with friends we decided to go to the local disco. I ended up talking to this lad, who did not push me to talk to him and was just friendly like you would be in the uk. After a few days we gradually started flirt with eachother etc and by the end of the holiday we spent every minute with eachother. I decided to stay on for a while and we decided to get married so i would be able to stay in a hotel with him. This was not in Cairo so i take this not to be a proper marriage but an orfi marriage. This i have no problem with until i came back to the UK and friends started to tell me of horror stories, about money and passports etc. I only have a photocopy of the contract which is in arabic, he has the original which is A3 and green. There have been no english copys. There is a stamp on the copys too. I am going back soon to Sharm, where he has asked me to live with him. Friends say that the may be a dowery on the contract. What is this?? and what might it likely to be?? Also i have heard that i can not leave Egypt without his permission and that he can take my passport off me. I have also heard that he can go to Cairo and get the papers legalised through the british embassy without me so the marriage would be legal in the UK. How does he obtain a british passport? I hope that, though there is obviuosly reason for concern, i have met a genuine guy, but can someone just help me with these questions?!? Cheers[/b][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
