Hi everyone.  I went through many posts but each says differently about orfi . Some sources saying it doesn't mean anything some claims it does and I'm confused... my story is a bit different as I never planned to be with that men neither him .

I went with my parents for a holidays to Egypt , we met him did couple of trips together,  1 day before we supposed to come back we went for a party,  I got little drunk , my parents went to the hotel and he asked if I want to keep partying or finish for tonight. 


Since I was already a bit tipsy I said Sure ! Let's go . He said we need to stop at his friend's office who's a lawyer so he give us papers that allows us to be together in one place alone and no problem with police , like fake Marriage.  I said what do you mean , what Marriage??!! He said its ok , next day just rip it and it's done . And I belived ... so we went to the club and it was late , I stayed at his apartment for the night and in the morning  I got back .


The next day we chat for a moment,  he admit he have a wife and 2 kids and he love her and his family , he said thank you ,bye and and he blocked me . 🙄


Anyway,  I'm not heartbroken about that,  the thing is I met someone in UK and we planning to marry , and I wanted to know it that as he called 'fake marriage' is valid , if I will have any problems because of that ..


Please,  any advices are welcomed , I really need your help as I'm scared to contact some fake Egyptian lawyers who will want only my money and left me broke without needed help after all ...

@Whiskeyeyes2019 No its like an engagement and you can rip  it up and forget about.


It's not a legal marriage and it means nothing if that's what you want it to mean.


For other people it's like an engagement for Wnglish terms to get married in the future.


Go and enjoy your life.

@Whiskeyeyes2019 no it’s nothing to worry about… the papers hold no weight. now if you were planning to date or marry in egypt the guy might try to cause trouble , but even then it’s not a legal marriage

I am English and the responses are correct it is not legal in the UK.

He can make problems for you with that fake paper only if you want to marry in Egypt

But otherwise it's nothing so enjoy your life and never let him know that you coming to Egypt in case you would like to visit Egypt one day
