[QUOTE]Originally posted by Phoenix: [QB] From a woman who has legally married an Egyptian (in May) Yes we went to Lazoghly (did I spell it right?) plus he gave me a dowry (some jewellry and his dad gave some money to both of us, a lot perhaps by Egyptian standards but not when converted into pounds!) We had two men present as well as the lawyer at Lazoughly and before going there we went to the British consulte and got a paper from there, a declaration neither had been legally married. Initially we thought we needed papers saying there was no record of a previous marriage but found out we did not. So I know we are both clear! Our marriage is valid in both Egypt and England but visa issues are separate (marriage no guarentee to a visa for him but then again I am not British, even if I was no guarentee) and I do not know yet if it is valid in my home country but that is not a problem just yet. In my case (so far, anyway!) I struck the jackpot with this one. I think he is gorgeous and sexy plus very very good to me. But I know not all Egyptian men are as good -the same can be said for people from any country though. He says he has never heard of "orfi" but is not from Luxor anyway but from a small place an hour out of Cairo. I have met his family and stayed with him and them at his house there which despite the language barriers etc. I reccommend, I was a lot more worried perhaps he was a bad un before that although my instinct and heart knew he was good. I felt no bad vibes from them and he did not change into a bad person in his home country. I am very glad to have found that out! Plus he has lived at home till me. In fact he says one wife (me) is MORE than enough he'd NEVER want TWO!! So yes you need Lazoghley I just asked hubby now and he said you MUST have a dowry from the man (I got a wedding ring and a necklace and like I said some money) and the main man at Lazoghley Justice of the peace or whatever you said it should be made us repeat words after him, my now hubby translated some of them. Also, we paid to get a translation of our marriage certificate into English so now we have both. Not required, it was for my benefit. We have our fingerprints on it and our photos. I am telling you this so you know what you need for a GENUINE LEGALLY VALID marriage. [This message has been edited by Phoenix (edited 11 October 2003).] [/QB][/QUOTE]
