I am an Irish woman married to an Egyptian. Can he marry again there?
Best of luck!
Most important thing, do you love him, go you still see him as a man that you can count on him even if he married you for papers as you said. His contribution to your life even if small should be recognised. If he gave you love, care, money. That would be okay. If he's a guy that can you depend on him even a little that's ok. If not, you don't give a dam shit about his marriage and knock him off.
While be careful dear, if you can waste a good chance.
Best of luck.
I had the same experience. Please feel free to contact me
Thank you

Reason : Do not post your personal contact details on a public forum for your own security
Try to get his attention that you love him, care for him and supported him and you should do likewise. Dialogue is a good approach.
God bless you both.

Of course he can do what he wants and marry again in Egypt under the table hush hush and with bribes but it is actually unlawful for him to marry an Egyptian once he has been married to a British woman via the Embassy and MOJ.
When my now husband and I had our appointment at the British Embassy the woman interviewing us really lectured my husband (even though he knew before anyway) about the fact that he can not marry again if he marries a British Citizen and that it would be against the law for him to do so unless he has a proper legalised divorce...she repeated it at least 3 times whilst we made our affidavit and signed the declarations. When we got out of there, we were like wow she really was drumming it wasn't she...when we remember that day we always quote her for fun, it was definitely one of the standout memories of the whole process!
I am an Irish man married to an Egyptian woman ... let me know if you would like to email or call me and I can give you and my wife's opinion and experience on your question and Egypt in general .. thanks
Yes he can Marry again.There are terms and conditions.Hence Region which one he belong too. if he Muslim and have capacity to cope no harm if not ,Christian Religion however can only allow one.
Best wishes,

I personally am going to be a second wife and don’t mind at all , we have an agreement and it’s workable , I did not want to come between him and his first wife for the sake of their children ..... if you really love him I suggest talking to him and making your feelings known instead of being ruled by jealousy
Just my opinion
I am an Irish man married to an Egyptian woman ... 4 years .. we live in Ireland
He can in Egypt marry up to 4 women (including you) ... In Egypt if he is Muslim
In regard to informing you, this will really depend on what is in your marriage contract, you can put into the marriage contract (at the time you are marrying) almost any conditions you like, such as he must inform you or he must pay you money or he must allow you to divorce and pay you as if he is divorcing you ... or any conditions you want within reason.
So have a read of you marriage contract .... and ensure it is correctly translated
Outside of Muslim countries second and subsequent marriages have no legal entitlement other than in some countries you can be prosecuted for bigamy
One question ... did you marry in the marriage court of the ministry of Justice in Cairo or by Orfi marriage contract? This would make a fair difference in the options you may have.
