At 45 life is just beginning
Egypt attracts Slavic women not only with eternal summer, pleasant prices, and the all-inclusive function of hotels. Local men also attract women. They know how to captivate with their sweet speeches. Unspoiled Belarusians fall in love with their ears, buy real estate in Egypt, open businesses, without fully understanding the local laws, and then call the hotline of the NGO "Club of Business Women" and ask to sort out the consequences of the eastern fairy tale. This doesn't happen often, but you still need to understand that when linking your life with men of such an exotic origin, you need to be aware of the mentality of his state and know the customs and traditions of your companion. In this article, we will tell you the story of one Belarusian woman who did not expect that her romance would end in problems.
Many women are skeptical about their physiological aging. They write themselves off, while being at the peak of their powers. But there are also women for whom life begins at 45. Elena, after living in marriage for 20 years, having given birth to two wonderful daughters, not finding herself happy, decided to get a divorce.
The rehabilitation period after the divorce dragged on for two years. After which Elena decided on a new stage in her life. She registered on a dating site, met an Arab named Abbas. A correspondence began. The man insisted on a meeting. Elena did not immediately agree to come to Sharm el-Sheikh, but she still went. The woman did not yet understand that by starting a romance with an Arab man, she needed to be prepared for condemnation. After all, what is natural in our country is unnatural and punishable in Egypt. For example, civil marriages. If you rent an apartment with your young man, the police can easily come and ask if you are married. For this, there is a certain document in the country: orfi.
What is ORFI - it's official permission for intimacy. Egypt is a country of double standards, so such half-measures are familiar to Arabs.
An "orfi marriage" puts the woman who entered into it in a заведомо disadvantageous position, so citizens are strongly advised to formalize "akd zauaj" - marriage contracts that are legally valid. For a foreigner, concluding an "orfi contract" can end badly. A simple termination is not enough for the legal dissolution of such a "marriage" and a divorce must be filed in court, and the compensation due upon dissolution of the "akd zauaj" is not начисляются, and the citizen of Egypt may also предъявят claims of a material nature to his spouse.
Elena visited her lover several times, stayed there on a tourist visa for 30 days and returned to Belarus. The couple entered into an urfi; many Arabs tell Russian girls that this is an official document of marriage. In fact, the presence of such a document does not give a woman the opportunity to feel legal on the territory of a foreign country. But Abbas won the woman over in such a way that she did not ask him unnecessary questions and agreed to the format of the relationship proposed to her. Moreover, over time, Elena acquired an apartment in Egypt. The man did not mention that Abbas had a family (polygamy is allowed in Egypt). Although Elena knew that it is allowed to have several wives in this country, she did not think that these legal aspects would affect her personally.
Complete trust in a man ended for Elena with Abbas moving his existing official wife and children into the apartment. The law was on the side of the children, not the tourist, and it was not possible to evict them; Elena left on her own.
Many women successfully marry Arabs. Coming to tourist cities, you can meet many happy couples. If Elena had contacted the hotline in advance, the staff would have explained to the woman that when linking her life with a citizen of Egypt, she needed to take into account the differences in mentality, religions and laws, especially how to register a marriage so that it would be recognized in Egypt and how to subsequently legalize it in Belarus. And often ignorance of these aspects does not turn out well for women.
