[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tigerlily: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by roqayya: [qb] I'm getting married to an Egyptian man in one month, but we have not settled the dowry yet. He has bought me a gold wedding ring, but nothing to put in the contract yet. What is the average dowry paid by a middle class egyptian family? He is just finishing college now, and not sure if he will work in the U.S. or Egypt. I heard around $5,000, but I do not want to be unfair in any way to him. Any suggestions? [/qb][/QUOTE]Please rethink your plan of marrying as it's not too late. You are too young for such a huge commitment and what you want right now will differ in a few years. Enjoy your youth and your freedom. SIMPLY HAVE FUN!!! If it's meant to be he will wait for you. I am sure others told you exactly the same and you probably can't hear it anymore. I am concerned that you want to do everything at one time without having any real life experience. Do you have any relationship experience at your young age?? Be aware that if you have a child with your husband and things don't work out right as you hoped there is no way you will be able to leave Egypt together with your offspring - unless your (ex)spouse will give permission that the child can be removed from his country by you. You gonna be in such a difficult position that even your embassy won't be able to help you. I would suggest you not to become pregnant (DON'T DO IT!!) for several years, get used to a different lifestyle at first, learn the language, the culture and mentality of the people, work on your own relationship, focus on finances and be really sure if that's what you want before you start a family. I hope you are at least a little aware of what's gonna happen to you very soon. IMHO you have your whole life infront of you, you can get later married and have kids - just not right after high-school. Well I guess since your mother wasn't able to talk sense into you I - as a stranger - won't be able to do it either. Well at least I've tried. Good luck anyway. You will need it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
