Is it acceptable in Egypt for a girl to live alone?

Question

how common is it? What if her parents are away even for a short amount of time..?

Answer 1

I think it would be quite rare for any groups of females or single women to live alone in Egypt. Families tend to live together in groups anyway.

Answer 2

people will divide in rejection due to tradition, others cause of religion and others due to safety reasons. for me I won't accept it for safety reasons as she is going to attract unwanted attention, and many people won't spare a chance to take advantage of her loneliness.

It's not common yet but I knew some rare cases, and the outcome wasn't that encouraging.

Answer 3

as our tradtions

it is not acceptable

but if u want my opinion my opinion is that its not accepted from both gender

Answer 4

in large cities like Cairo, no one know others every one at it's live, specially if you foreign, so finally you can live alone that is not an issue

Answer 5

it can happen when she is a working woman.

in that case , the place would be bought  .

Egyptians in high class / middle class places would accept it .

in low class regions this wouldnt be acceptable .

if she lives with her family and they go away for a while and she stays at home , it would be acceptable in all classes of the society .

Answer 6

no, it's not acceptable at all, even the elite families dislike to allow this to their daughters.

Answer 7

Now it's acceptable·

Not very common·

Always it depends on her personality and attitude. If she seems to be respectable and taking care she is in Egypt, that leads to others respect and also help her.
