[QUOTE]Originally posted by ExptinCAI: [QB] Medusa, Trying to throw criminal law (based as we here in ES learned on the napoleonic code) and family law (as we learned based on Islamic law) together only shows that you are not as much of an expert as you claim. I think you may be a little confused as to the legal term of “egyptian woman” that you so enthusiastically and carelessly interject into your posts. A female foreigner married in Egypt is not legally deemed an “egyptian woman” by any legal system. Neither does she obtain automatic egyptian citizenship by marriage. Any person on a particular country’s soil is subject to that country’s laws. That is a universal given and the only objections to those rules are military/diplomatic immunities, wars, etc. Now that we agree on this basic point, let us try to make sense of your scenario of criminal and family law. let’s hypothesize. If a foreigner murders on Egyptian soil, he/she is subject to punishment by Egyptian laws. Agreed. If a foreigner staying in a Cairo hotel orders his wife (also a foreigner) to stay inside the room and under no circumstances can she leave Egypt without his authorization - thereby invoking the family law of the land - according to you he is entitled to call the local police and they - again under egyptian law - must detain her and order her to comply with her husband’s wishes. She - by islamic law - cannot simply go to the airport and use her foreign passport to exit Egypt legally (on the foreign visa she obtained when entering Egypt.) Oh no. Once she steps on the egyptian soil, she is subject to egyptian laws. Well yes. She IS subject to Egyptian laws and by accepting a visa, every visitor promised to comply by those laws and not break them. Er. Personally, I would love to be the police captain to receive such a call from a foreigner - I would have the best story to tell in the cafe for the rest of my life. Medusa, again you need to recognize that we are speaking about (1) foreign nationals residing in Egypt. NOT DUAL CITIZENS. (2) Egypt is not Saudi Arabia. Two foreigners in Egypt would not be subject to follow Egypt’s family law. What makes you so sure one foreigner would? (Again keep in mind we’re not speaking of dual nationality and marriage does not give you egyptian citizenship.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
