revocable divorce in egypt

samy + janet aly · March 1, 2013

hello there VJ'ers...

i want to know if anyone who married anyone from egypt and there husband had a previous marriage and listed as revocable divorce, what stuff did you bring to prove for an NOIR that this divorce is legal and binding.

reason beings, they trying to say my husband divorce papers is something wrong and not for immigration purposes.

in egyptian/islamic law, a divorce is only revocable for the first 90 days when the divorce is filed. in which time to see if the woman is pregnanat or is called a cooling off period. if the man wants to take his wife back then he has to do it before the 90 days finish, that is what makes it revocable, before the 90 days waiting period.

if after the 90 days he does not take his wife back then they are divorce as of the day they filed for the divorce.

also keep in mind in egypt/islam the man can only marry the same woman 3 times. the listing as revocable is a count for how many they have between them.

now my husband divorced his ex-wife back in may 2008 and he let her go back to her parents...she was the one who asked for the divorce. 2 years later, him and i marry 2010.

they want proof that he did not divorce her for immigration benefits.

they want his divorce paper to say final or irrevocable.....cant do that because that means he has to remarry his ex-wife 2 more times and he has no intentions to do so....lol.

his divorce papers say "bill of divorce",,,so what is the difference from that and decree of divorce???

the proof he will bring...

a letter from 2 lawyers saying his divorce is a proper and legal divorce.

a timeline showing when he started with his ex and when they finished, it will also have our marriage in it and his daughter from ministry of justice and civil status department.

a letter signed by 9 of his close friends and neighbors vouching for him and me.

i have other papers here to send as well.

any help and ideas will be greatly appreciated.

i have until march 12 2013 to send it in by march 14 2013.

Once he got his divorce papers did he file it with the courts and get the official stamps on them? Then have them translated with the official stamps for the translations? I have a friend who actually married an egyptian man who was divorced islamically and had the papers but never got them recorded in the courts so when it was time for the embassy to ok the application they not only refuse to do that they also said their marriage at the ministry was unrecognized by the US because he wasn't properly "divorced" from his first wife. Even though the egyptian court recognized him as being single to marry his USC wife.

thanks i have those papers and his divorce was stamped and filed with the civil status department.

the problem with immigration is that when they see the "revocable" part and i have in writing per the NOIR they think that he can take back his ex at anytime they dont even look at the 90 day waiting period and understand that the divorce is only revocable before the 90 day wait period has ended. if it is not revoked and the 90 days wait period has passed them they are divorced.this is what they dont understand.his ex sent me a letter she wrote to immigration explaining why they divorced and she plans to marry by the end of the year to an old schoolmate she has been engaged to for sometime. my husband got from the civil status, ministry of interior a document for his history. shows when he married his ex and when they divorced and when him and i married. all is registered thru the courts and with the government.

all divorces in egypt are revocable except for the third one. i have a statement from his lawyer too explaining all and with which law on the books there refer to it.
