Amber Rose - Egyptian marriages

I'm thinking that the nephew could be his son given his reluctance to show him on cam. The woman could be his sister as she could move back to her parent's home if her husband was away working but I doubt it. She would be living with her husband's parents and be involved with his family. There is a geat chance that the woman is in fact his wife.

Men in Egypt marry by the time they are in their late twenties and have chidren almost immediately. It is very, very unusual to find an Egyptian man single at 30 years of age.

Only marriages performed at the Ministry of Justice in Cairo are registered and these marriages are costly and time consuming. Many poorer Egypyians in rural areas opt for religious marriages performed by an Imam or a contract (Orfi) mariage. These marriages are not registered but are recognised as a marriage because man and woman are considered a "couple", Therefore, to find out if your Egyptian man is married is almost impossible but given the culture it is highly possible he is.

I hope this helps in some small way.
