[QUOTE]Originally posted by *Star*Sapphire*: [QB] I got this off the UN website, about ORFI marriage: 1.2 Notarisation of the marriage contract: The marriage contract is notarised. However, it is not drawn before a notary public, but it is drawn up before the Ma'zoun, who is the official authorised to perform the marriage ceremony. The contract is then registered in the official registers of the State. It is issued in duplicate, one copy for each of the parties. However, a marriage contract is valid even if it is not notarised. Thus an "orfy" (unofficial) or non-registered marriage contract meets all the legal requirements for the constitution of a contract. However, an "orfy" marriage does not invest the wife with the rights she would enjoy under a notarised marriage contract. For example, an "orfy" wife is not entitled to financial support or alimony in case of divorce or to her husband's pension on his death, and the marriage relationship does not enjoy judicial protection unless it is officially acknowledged by the husband. Moreover, the wife in an 'orfy" marriage must institute legal proceedings to establish her children's parentage. Further, if for any reason, she is unable to agree on a divorce, the court will not hear her case for divorce according to the present procedures. This puts the wife in an impossible situation where the husband can and may divorce her at any time while she cannot even obtain divorce through the court. Legislative Reform is urgently needed in this respect.
