I don't know very much about the legal system in Egypt - but this seems unlikely - aren't they just trying to get money?? Do you know for sure that he is actually in jail in Egypt for real????

If I was you I would tell his family: I will come immedialy and visit him in jail and check out his situation. Just to see how they will react. If they dont want you to come - something is rotten..........

on the contrary send money. If someone you love has committed something wrong, he has to be punished. Forging papers is as wrong as making false money so he has to pay. And if he cannot, you pay for him. It works this way. Now if you don't pay money you will pay by the effect of his absence, can you bear it. You will cry and be sad and maybe depressed who knows.

I heard the medium salery was around 4500 LE. Dont sent him money - that will disrupt the balance of your relationsship with him.

or you may reconsider the relationship. Does it really worth it? Do you have to pay for something you didn't really wanted to happen in the first place? You are innocent in this story and it's your tort. Now maybe you can leave him and get along with someone more respectable that will not get you involved in hard times.

Why are people thinking they can use bad words when talking about someone not like them? It may backfire .

What IS the medium salary?
300 ? Hardly! ( maybe in certain areas)
2000 ? (likely I think)
4500 ? (too much! only in some rich areas)
the medium salary is not pertinent anyway. Taking the mean or the median is more efficient. Though you'll have to meet the people to ask them their salaries, it's hardly realisable.

he was not really a pharao, he thought he was because he had some power but he never did nothing really remarkable, he has not entered posterity despite he wanted.

She must have some rights being his wife - she at least could call the authorities or something and have them tell her if he is there in prison or not being his wife and all

yes you're right but certain things are not discoverable, they are reachable. So he reached the newfoundlands but didn't discovered nothing. Because it supposes something is covered, but it's not.

Yes, no it doesn't need to be covered! Only covered in the knowledge - and in the knowledge of his country and countrymen this territory was covered and so he discovered it! It is all a question of perspective!

you don't say "before the continents were covered" , and they were discovered.
When you lose your keys you don't say " i've covered my keys" and when you find it back you don't say "ive recovered my keys"

I know that my keys are in existence so I don't go around thinking that I will discover them!
But if I don't know about some country or continent - or not even my society knows about it - learning about it and having a new knowledge about it is a discovery for those people in question! Not for all people - but for those people it was a genuine discovery for sure!

I don't know what to tell you - I don't understand where all the usual members are on this forum - they have more info - but from my reading here and personal experience poor people in Egypt look at Europeans as money machines and they think it is a good way to get easy money to try to marry foreign women. the families are sometimes in on it. This is some way in their eyes to better their position - of course there are good honest men - but it seems that all the foreign women (at least 80% of them) are marrying the bad ones though....
