When there is no apartment, there is no wedding!

This is the attitude towards marriage in Egypt. It is difficult to say how the tradition was born and how many centuries it goes back, but it is definitely a very ancient and important rule in society. There are two reasons for this desire:

• The young family should be provided with housing;
• The bride and groom must be of the same financial level.

But how does this all happen, you ask. Indeed, in the courtyard of the 21st century, modern society, completely different moral foundations than a couple of centuries ago. From this moment on, you need to travel to sunny Egypt and find out what laws and traditions the Egyptians honor.

The classic approach to the formation of a young family, when the boy's parents choose a bride from their circle of friends, corresponding to their financial status, and go to negotiate with this family.

The groom's side is obliged to provide housing (apartment, house), but the bride - everything to the house (furniture, appliances, repairs). Parents of a young woman receive a so-called makhr, a certain amount of money, for their beauty, about which an agreement must be drawn up.

A ring is bought, and this is a whole theatrical performance. The groom finds a suitable store and agrees on how much he expects. On the appointed day, young people come there, accompanied by their parents, aunts, uncles, sisters, brothers, in other words, everyone who may be present. When offering rings, the merchant skillfully paints the merits of the rings, the agreed price range, and the relatives groan and gasp in chorus around the jewelry.

Then comes the period of coordination and preparation for the wedding. During this period, young people begin to get acquainted and communicate. It can drag on for several months, it happens that families cannot agree on balancing the amounts of housing and interior, or the bride does not able to pay, then the groom's relatives can allocate the amount for the arrangement, if for some reason it is beneficial for them to marry with such family. Unfortunately, this procedure does not always end with a wedding, in which case the girl and her family are obliged to return everything that was spent on them, allocated. There are cases when they even demanded money for trips to cafes, restaurants and cinema.

In my opinion, this is the right decision, that young people immediately begin to live separately with a complete arrangement. The only frustrating thing is that, thus creating a family, they do not take into account the feelings and desires of the girl and the guy. Some of you support this method, would you like to get married or get married like this? I'd like to know your opinion.
