Hi, I am writing to find out about the marriage process in Egypt. Let's say that a man that is Egyptian and has American citizenship is married legally in the US and then wants to marry another woman in Egypt.
Would he have to produce a legal document showing the US divorce is complete before he would be able to formally marry in Egypt?
Does it make a difference that he is originally Egyptian and now a US citizen.
Honestly, I am asking because my husband is Egyptian and tells me that he has married another wife in Egypt. I am trying to figure out if he can do anything other than urfi marriage without a formal divorce document?
Also, he is trying to convince me to legally divorce him supposedly for equal rights between me and the other wife, meaning she can come to US etc. But I really think it is because he cannot legally marry her without having this US divorce done? We have been married 10 years and so far I cannot have children, that's why he wants another wife; but I feel he is not being completely honest about the situation and doing my own research.
I am not looking for legal advice. Just anecdotal based on your experience. I know it is a messy situation but I am just trying to get to the bottom of it. Any feedback appreciated.
