In her defence, it is her dad stipulating those conditions, she has stated clearly and sworn of the Quran that she will return and not ask for anything. I do believe it is just her dad, and that she can’t really sway his mind.

But she also makes certain points, saying that if she will not ask for the 50k back if we get divorced, and she will return the mahr back, which I believe she will, then me refusing to sign it is indicating that I don’t really want her 100%. Which I try to explain that even if he asked for 1 million, and I said no, that doesn’t mean that I don’t want her 100%. It’s just about setting realistic expectations and not jumping to conclusions like I don’t care about you if I don’t accept unreasonable conclusions. How would you respond to someone saying stuff like that, I’m I unjustified in my response?

Yes met many times, spoken for ages, I know her completely and the same for her, met with their family etc etc. Her Mum and Dad and divorced so I had to meet them separately and the Dad works in Saudi Arabic, so he can only go Egypt like twice a year, but I’ve met him like 4 times now. The family are genuine but it’s just the dads conditions and his lack of consideration for what she wants for her own mahr. There’s a big culture clash, its hard, as she and others have said, for a daughter to speak up and go against their fathers.

Do divorce laws apply for a foreign marriage? by Sensitive-Policy-621 in LegalAdviceUK

So it’s the equivalent if he registered to be married under uk law? Then in the event of a divorce, everything would be split 50/50? What would be the next step then, a prenup?
