Since I started a series called BrightSide of Egypt talking about good people and stuff in our generation, I thought of creating balance and start the DarkSide of Egypt too. Hopefully the bright side posts will outnumber the DarkSide ones :)
The first topic and one of the most serious DarkSide issues in our generation is the 3urfi Marriage where any 2 can just write a paper and keep a copy in a hypocrite way for just having sex (sorry for being blunt). It is the Quran (Al-baqara) which said that the Hypocrites will be in the lowest level in Hell (a3ozo Bellah). So even those who have a "western" boy-girl friend style are not as worse as those who are 3urfi married coz they are fooling themselves, the society, and think that they are "fooling" Allah.
I know that there are many reasons that have led to this situation including financial, economic, social, and religious awareness as well. But when you read the following part of a study, you will know why I decided to dedicate my first post about the DarkSide for it.
كشفت إحصائيات صادرة عن وزارة الشؤون الاجتماعية المصرية، النقاب عن وجود أكثر من 255 ألف طالب وطالبة في مصر متزوجون عرفيا. ويشكل هذا العدد نسبة تصل إلى 17 % من طلبة الجامعات في مصر، والبالغ عددهم 5.1 مليونا. وبحسب الإحصائية فان هناك 14 ألف طفل من مجهولي النسب هم نتاج هذا النوع من الزواج.
Continuing with this rate will not only be a problem but will be a catastrophe as it act as an avalanche that will swap many of the long-lived Egyptian characteristics along the way the least of which will be the family values.
Mohaly :(
i think the biggest part of the problem is that it's becoming like a trend
ReplyDelete"all the cool kids r doing it" it's being adopted by kids influenced by the western culture and the religious quilt is being compensated by the "mofty" saying it's only 7aram as u r not obeying "oly el amr"..
how can u fight something like this..!
i've met a couple and talked to him about it he's proud of it and she is also (they're two Egyptian kids) yeah we love each other and when we can we will get married and let our parents know.. to quote him "i am only 20 i don't know if i want to spend the rest of my life with myself, how should i know if i want to spend my whole life with her." problem is that she nodded along.!!
and the kids are bright and doing well in college ....

:D lool

p.s mohaly stop interesting topics ! 3ashan kedah hafdal akteb !
yes bo2bo2 i agree with trend part..but it is mainly 7aram not only because of not obeying 2oly el 2am but for the secret nature. 3urfi is halal (but not official in records) if it is known to everyone, and this how the marriage used to be before the 20th centurty.
ReplyDeletekabbar, i just wanna disappoint you and say that i wont stop coz of this is the main mission of this blog, and i cant afford loosing such valuable and rich analysis like yours :)
ReplyDeletefor the khetab el deny, that is what i meant with "relegious awarness" because at Prophet's (PBUH) time there were poor and cool people too but they managed to get it right becuase of the right "khetab deeni" that is talking to them not to their ancestrors!
That is why I had Moez as one of the people who talks to me in relegion without telling me I am talking to you in relegious and you have to do so and so, no, he just make the life path more clearer for me and let me choose!
You know what is scary? Is that this statistic is probably way less than the real figures...
