The cost will vary by attorney, and honestly a lot of attorneys are not honest and you will end up paying and paying for a divorce that never seems to come. Not to mention the fact that he can fight the divorce and tie up the process further. ... Read More


Marriage and entitlement by annamanning123
Hi I'm English woman. And just wondering if I marry my Egyptian partner. Are they entitled to anything of mine in England. Like my house or any of my money. Or can I marry without worrying about my things back in England. And there is no way they ...

No, they are not entitled to anything of yours.In traditional Egyptian marriages, an extensive list of everything that was purchased for the marital home, regardless of whether it was purchased by the bride or the groom, is made and attached to the ... Read More

The entry visa lasts 30 days. Anyone staying in egypt longer than 30 days will need to extend their visa to a ”tourist residency”, which lasts 6 months as you said. You do not have to stay in Egypt the entire 6 months, you are certainly ... Read More

Little about situation:-foreigner woman (EU) dating Egyptian (at college met in EU, now long distance)-he is from medium class family (his family owns 2 houses, some cars etc but nothing literally his)-he got 1 year before military service, but he ...

@wood1999not impossible, but its far less common. most egyptian girls strive to marry by their mid twenties, and the parents are heavily involved in the selection and engagement process. So its far less likely a foreign man would be part of that ... Read More

As far as treatment is concerned, it's very simple: If a man sincerely loves you, he will treat you well and you will be happy. If he has ulterior motives or doesn't care about you, he will not value you. It doesn't matter what your nationality is; ... Read More

As far as your rights, as a legally married woman your rights are the same as any Egyptian woman. You should document the mahr and moahker in the marriage contract. Egyptian women add a list of all household furniture and supplies the bride and ... Read More

I also suggest you connect to facebook groups for "Foreign women married to Egyptian men" for more perspective. It would NOT be a good idea to come to Egypt without any social connections to others who could help you if you needed, ideally other ... Read More

If you haven't already, start visiting Egypt. As much as possible. If you want to marry this man, it's imperative you meet his family and get an idea of what life is like for him here, as well as what it would be like for you. That could help you ... Read More

If the only way to get him there is for you to stay there and get his spousal visa processed from where you are, then it's tricky. I totally get why he thinks it will be better for him there, but that may or may not be true once he actually gets ... Read More
