What to Prepare for Interview in Consulate in Cairo

[aj1 1]

Depending on their economic circumstances (which vary in Egypt much as anywhere else in the world) wives may with their husbands approval (and GRATITUDE!) contribute to the household budget, I never said otherwise. And men MUST give their wives money to spend on the family, and for themselves. Thus the practice of "nafaka" (pocket money) upon divorce in Egypt.

Yeah. my husband got slammed by his ex when he divorced her. She was psycho and everyone I spoke to in his family said the same. I thought it was another "my ex is crazy" story, but she's a nut. My husband had to pay $40,000 when they divorced. Funny thing is, his ex SIL wanted to pay a portion of that because she hates her too!

My husband had a very high paying, well respected job in Egypt. Schools were always calling him wanting him to teach at their facility. When he came here dispite his degree, no schools recognize his education. He thought he would be able to come here and begin teaching right away and start contributing to the household. I honestly could care less about how much money he does or does not make....that's just not me. Our relationship has always been give and take, equally on both sides, which is how I feel a marriage should be regardless of our religion. Of course there were/are cultural differences that we both had to deal with and there are many times we giggle about the way some things are done in other places. After being here almost a year he has finally got a job (not in teaching) that he absolutly loves and I'm happy for him.

Well said !
