[QUOTE]Originally posted by ExptinCAI: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by aleinad: [b]since, as one of you said here, there is no way for a foreigner to marry in Egypt a married man other than orfi, and that's surely not my choice. Asking if i could solve the problem by officially becoming a muslim i actually asked: "Is there any legal way for a muslim who's not a national of a muslim country to marry in Egypt a man already legally married?" I would rather agree that their mother stays married to my husband just on paper (which in fact already is the case), than taking their father away from them and deprive them of any decent support, which would definitely happen if they are left alone with the mother. . Thanks so much to you all![/b][/QUOTE] There is no difference between a foreigner and an Egyptian as far as being able to have a legal marriage in Egypt as a 2nd, 3rd or 4th spouse. The difference is that most foreigners come from UK/US/Europe where polygamous marriages are not legal. Therefore your marriage would be legal only in countries that legally recognize polygamous marriages. In Egypt, you would be married in the eyes of the law, in Europe, you would be single in the eyes of the law and only married in the eyes of muslim religion. Why would his children be deprived of decent support if he got a divorce? He's the one who needs to be paying their support regardless whether he is married or not to his first wife. Also, how old are the children? After a certain age (something like 8-10 yrs) he automatically gets custody - NOT his wife. He can even take her to court now to get custody now and has a very good chance of winning. It's the opposite of Europe. As far as the money, well that's the delayed mahr that he signed in his marriage contract when he married his first wife. If he can't afford to pay that, how is he going to afford YOU and financially support a 2nd household? If he's giving you Egyptian justifications for this, then you need to think and expect to be treated as an Egyptian wife. A stereotypical Egyptian wife would not think in terms of "we" when it came to who supported the household financially. It would be "him". So if he can't afford to divorce his first wife, how is he going to afford to buy you a flat to live in, how is he going to manage financing 2 households, and what kind of mahr is he going to give you? Granted, you may not care about any of that but if you want to become a 2nd wife, you should perhaps weigh your options as one. [/QB][/QUOTE]
