One old lady hanged herself a few years back because her young husband took every penny of her savings to build their dream villa on the banks of the Nile. Then he dumped her after she sold her home in Germany and moved his Egyptian wife and entire family into the Villa.
This is just one case of many many many...........
I am saying this as a general feature and there are always exception to the rule. However every women thinks she will be the exception to the rule.

I have just had a PM from an Ahmed on Facebook. Not sure how he made the connection but he wants this beautiful lady to come back to Egypt. Well he ain't gonna be my friend and I am one of these daft old ladies more likely to leave my savings to the donkeys (much as I admire a well turned out male human

)

I'll probably leave everything to a save the cats and dogs fund .... now if Ahmed can prove he has a HUGE bank balance and is willing to add me to his account that only requires one signature ... weeellll maybe I could be 'purr'suaded to visit occasionally!

Well, the law is to protect the younger women, I suppose.

As for an old man leaving all to young wife? Hmmm I suppose that's just another business deal-the lady provides her 'services' to old man who wants to have some fun in old age, in return she gets the money.

After all grown up kids often dont give half a penny for old man, just wait him to die to pocket the money. So I see the point. Who says that they deserve the money anyhow?LOL So yound wife is another option apart from leaving all to donkeys...LMAO...

"Heart attack" is another story though.
