[QUOTE]Originally posted by Momma_Dukes: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Dubai Girl: [qb] I was back in the British Embassy in Cairo this morning waiting to collect my notice of marriage. A Young Couple in their early twenties came in, he was scottish she was egyptian. At first I assumed she was Christian as her hair wasn't covered. she looked to be about 6 months pregnant. They went to the counter together and said they wanted to get married and he needed to apply for a notice of marriage. The woman at the counter then said he needed to have converted to Islam, to which he confirmed he had after that they filled out their forms and left hand in hand. My father in law who is Egyptian was with me and he was quite shocked that she was obviously pregnant and they were unmarried, to me coming from a western culture this is fairly normal and didn't faze me, although I know Egypt views this differently and is a very conservative community. It got me thinking as to whether attitudes here are changing. Obviously unmarried pregnancies do happen in Egypt, my soon to be husband who is 31 can remember a girl from his school getting pregnant, but it was very much hushed up and she was sent away as he remembers, a bit like they used to do to unmarried mothers in England up until the mid 70s. This is not the case at all any more and you are no longer looked upon any differently (in my opinion) if you are unmarried and have a child. Do you think people here's attitudes are changing ?I would be interested to know your views on this? [/qb][/QUOTE]thats so BS that they need him to convert to islam. like wtf is it their business what he believes in and shouldnt a person convert to islam because they want to instead of have too? my god, egypt is retarded. its a shame over there. there are many unmarried pregnant girls, especially the street ones who are like 12 who are forced to give birth in alleys and stuff.
