Hello to everyone!

This is my short story and i need your advice:

I am from Georgia, 3 years ago i came to live in Egypt with a person i loved. i was naive girl who trusted people,and believed that this is a man who i love so much  and will share all my life with. before we marry sure i knew his family.

but after 2 months i knew that my "Egyptian husband" is lying to me, he hit me, never  provide me and he  is already
married  and has a son.( We were married by orfi. he said that it s a first step to legal and real marriage.)
This orfi paper was signed by both of sides  in one copy without any witnesses,  i even dont have it.

So my problem is to get freedom and to get  divorce!!!!!
he is still following me  and always says  that i am still his wife.


I knew that all whats happened with me is my mistake only!
But now i want to fix it and start new life! to forget this scary dream!

My question is: have i go to the court to get divorce or such orfi without witnesses is nothing and my x-husband is just playing with me....?
thanks for Your attention!

Talk to a lawyer. This is a very easy case though.

So do you mean that such orfi really has a power?
one of my friend told me that its nothing as it was without witnesses....
thanks

It is nothing in my point of view. I am just advising to ask an expert so you will be sure and start moving on with your life.

Hello,

It's possible he makes his friends sign the marriage later as witnesses.

This orfy paper has no power since you're foreigner and it isn't stamped by the egyptian court and ministry of foreign affairs.

You can start a new life specially if you'll be living abroad.

Good luck,

Julien
