[QUOTE]Originally posted by Farhana: [QB] Welsafty, I read your post for the time today with great interest. I read the first page of replies and it seems that was the general consensus 'an interesting post'. Pages 2 and 3 however, seemed to present the usual dribble and I could not be bothered to read on. I was born and raised in the UK and went to live in Egypt in my teens. The whole marriage thing came apparent to me when i was older and I could not believe it - to oppose the traditional norm would be selling yourself short and that was the way marriage worked here! Yikes - I could not do it. Maybe my British roots - I don't know. I feel sorry for the Egyptian youth who have no choice but to go through this - maybe it's not such an issue for some families but it sure is for others. One ES member mentioned watching her brother in law having to work like mad just to present the gold and redecorate his place! I guess its not the done thing to just rent a nice apartment when you're both married and honeymoon on the coast (what would the neighbours, family and friends say?). A really good post, thank you for sharing it. Farhana [/QB][/QUOTE]
