Poor people also have great weddings, what it lacks in money is made up for in spirit.

Every girls has her day... having said tht, I have seen some really miserable brides in Egyptian weddings. Hard to tell what that is about.

Honestly, I don't know. And fortunately I have not gone through a divorce experience, since I am not married.

It is not only about children, but there's also the financial burden, which most of it falls on the man incase a divorce takes place. Besides the child support and alimony, there's a "mo2akhar" which is a pre-agreed sum of money that is put on the wedding contract as a compensation to the bride incase of a divorce... I have seen some brides put down astronomical figures. With the custody nightmare aside, all these things make divorce less than an easy option.

It is the Zeffa, the bit in the wedding were you get paraded around with the Zeffa band. They then lead you to the Korsha where you sit on a stage on two throne like chairs surrounded by flowers.
