Need help with my Orfi

Submitted by Sarah (Australia), Apr 18, 2010 at 05:49

Hi everyone,

I had an Orfi contract with an Egyptian man in Hurghada and we split up. We had three copies of this contract. I destroyed my copy but he still has his and also the lawyer who made it still has a copy too. Without giving any details, I had to run away from this guy because of an abusive situation. I will never go back to Hurghada because I have to stay away from him but I really want to go back to live in Cairo. But I was wondering is there anything he can do with these contracts? Do you know what I mean? For example: can he stop me from marrying someone else? Can he turn the contracts into legal marriage without my consent? Is there anything else he can do to affect my future in this country?
