[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shareen: [QB] Lol, gotta leap in on this one in defence of Orfi marriage. I think most foreign women who have Orfi marriages in Luxor are fully aware that it gives them no marital rights. It is not a marriage and they have no illusions that it is. They may call themselves husband and wife, but in reality it is only in Egypt that they can use those titles. It is not a legal document in this country for sure. But it does allow a man and a woman to live together as husband and wife without constant hassle from the local police in Luxor. And one of the questions asked of the woman in the presence of lawyers and witnesses is.... Do you wish to marry this man? Thereby making the document real evidence that the woman is in the relationship out of her own choice. Moral standards, on the surface, are different in western countries, a couple can and do live together without legalising their union. In Egypt this is not the done thing. So Orfi was created. It satisfies the Egyptian authorities and does not create a union which is difficult to get out of when it goes wrong. As for children of these marriages. I think you will find that many Orfi marriages involve women who older, therefore have already had their families and have no desire for more babies, or they are past childbearing age. Orfi has its place as long as both parties are fully aware that it actually means no more than a committment to each other whilst in Egypt. [/QB][/QUOTE]
