Answer 13

CAN'T be, the age difference between them is 75 yo ....

i don't believe these kind of news, i think its just a fake propaganda to destroy the picture of Egyptians (& arabs) infront of the whole world

its an OLD game people

Answer 14

I am not sure of the reason why you didn't see the word "banned".

The marriage was banned by the Egyptian ministry of justice.

As for the reason, well.... it has nothing to do with "Egypt". It has everything to do with money and greed.

Remind me again, how old was Anna Nicole Smith when she married that old guy for his money?

And that was in America.

Answer 15

maybe for his money

Answer 16

Answer 19

well , u r mixing things , and this may happen anywhere and everywhere..

ok?

so dont just restrict it to egypt ..

egyptian girls r known as the best ever..

Answer 20

Money.

Answer 21

As per ismaily answer, Anna Nicole Smith marriage in America answers ur Question ,its every where not only in Egypt .BTW ,most of the information there in ur link are 100% WRONG

Answer 22

i think it is wrong...

how do you say "disgusting" in arabic?

that's really unusual. and he is not Egyptian anyway.. and besides it is against the law in Egypt.

Answer 23

He must be rich or she has nasty powerful parents who forced her.

Answer 24

As you would have noticed from the article he is not an Egyptian and she is not permitted by Egyptian law to go out of the country with the intention to marry him.

Of course this cant stop the marriage taking place but it would not be recognised as a legal marriage in Egypt if she returned.

Anyway unless he has a very good stock of viagra,and it an exceptional man I'm sure the marriage will be able to be legally annulled even after he dies.

Then hopefully she inherits all his Saudi money and marry whoever she wants to.

So on her behalf, its not a bad investment for a max of  4-5  years..

These types of crazy marriages take place all over the world, all the time. This world has some very peculiar people living in it, but so long as its not your girl friend hes wanting to marry, don't worry about it..

Answer 25

money

Answer 26

money maybe?? maybe she's planning to bump him off and take the inheritance.

Answer 27

maybe because the old man's either rich or a hypnotist.  and maybe because the girl's either blind or stupid.

Answer 28

It's not the normal tradition in Egypt for girls to marry muchhhhhh older guys, it's an extreme case that doesn't represent the pattern of marriage in Egypt, so please stop restricting all of your questions to Egypt

Answer 29

i have no clue why.

most people think its the money but. just because it happens to most doesnt mean it happens to all.

Answer 30

um probably his balls dropped. i mean really dropped to the floor. lol. i dunno man ppl are weird these days you kno.
