Afternoon,

Thank you Al Rowaad for your helpful information on the marriage process in Egypt.  I think my fiancé and I have that sussed out now

I have spoken to the British Consulate this morning in Cairo, and they have assured me, that from their side, they are happy that my divorce decree in the UK - is final and stands with them.  They have no problem accepting it / translating / reproducing it.

My fiancé has since spoken to a very nice gentleman at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Cairo who has also assured him that my divorce decree from the UK is valid, regardless of where I married before.  I suppose my concern is that my marital status in Turkey is ‘married', and it won't be to my new husband – despite having a divorce decree in the UK!  It will remain that way unless I pay silly money for power of attorney / lawyer / registration of it at the Family Courts in Turkey.

In this day and age, people get married in different countries from their home one but divorce in the one where they ‘domicile' (in my instance, the UK), but it was a concern that it would be questioned in Egypt, especially being a Muslim country.

I just don't want to do anything wrong. 

Thanks again,

Kind regards,
Ellen
