To Confuse, In Egypt a man is allowed to marry four wives as a muslim. Before they can marry another wife the wife has to approve the second wife. This is crazy. A muslim man can only marry if he can afford to support the first and the last wife. Whatever the first wife have the second third and fourth will have the same as for his first wife.

Do not waste your time in him. Egyptian men are very interesting but oh my can they lie. Find somebody that do not have any commitment. You will be happier if you do this otherwise if you really love him if you can be happy as the second wife that is your choice, but think again if he wants to get married then be the first wife not the second wife then you will have the power as being the first instead a of being second. This is such a crazy situation you are going into but if you really love the man and can live as a second wife then the decision is all yours. Before you really get involved with him get to know him, his family, the first wife ,and all, goodluck to you.
