Point #1 is all I would need to have serious second and final thoughts. I wish you happiness.  Also, if Mahr is the same as dowry, I'm willing to bet this is something that was written into legal marriage contracts many, many years ago and has never been updated.  I recall the mention of 100 EGP mentioned in a contract in reviewed.  Lastly, he can have countless Orphi wives and if any of them get pregnant iI dont think there is nothing you can do if he marries her as well.  Egypt exists as a Patriarchy..remember that.

In my opinion, they do not showing disrespect by these actions, but they try to reduce your financial dues that are determined for you by law and that your husband must pay in the event of divorce, such as the dowry and deferred portion, and you must insist on all the conditions that guarantee your rights in the event of divorce.

We live in Europe,so no Orfy marriages.

I'm just curious why the lies? Why they tell me government take 10%  of  the dowry when that's not true?

Where I come from, without these traditions we give so much to the bride, simbolic way to wish her all the best in her new life.

I understand but why its not done with egyptian women if its ok?

@ToddTodd

Attempting to reduce women's rights in marriage is done to foreign and Egyptian wives. This is unfair. Any attempt by the husband to reduce his wife's rights in the event of divorce is unacceptable.

@info6590

You already know what they are trying to do.  You already don't feel good about it. I wish you all the best with your outcome.

@info6590

Thanks for your reply, it means a lot to me. The thing is my husband is absent, so his family gave me this contract, I don't think he knows about it, and didn't want to tell him as I want to avoid any fights in the family.

Am I right about the 10% that government take from the mahr? That's a lie right? 

@ToddTodd

There are dues must be paid to the state or government in the case of marriage, but they are not 10%. They are less than that and will not exceed 4% of the value of the dowry specified in the document.

@atlanteancare

Yes, I agree with you ... its obvious there's sheer dishonesty happening here ....
