Egypt..a new law determines the fate of gifts and the network during courtship

Representative Nashwa El-Deeb, a member of the House of Representatives, said a new draft personal status law was submitted to the parliament after 60 deputies approved it, and it will be discussed during the coming period.

 The new draft law regulates the procedures for courtship and network recovery.

According to Cairo 24, the first chapter of the draft law came to include engagement and marriage, and the text of the first chapter of the first chapter on the engagement, and the text of the articles on the subject of the sermon were as follows:

 The betrothal is an agreement between a man and a woman prior to marriage that may be written, and likewise a promise explicitly, in which Al-Fatihah may be read, or the network and the custom of exchanging gifts and receiving the agreed-upon dowry, and this is not considered a marriage, and each of the parties to abandon the engagement It follows that:

 If harm is caused by one of the parties unreasonably withdrawing from the engagement;

The other party had the right to claim compensation for the damage he sustained, and the one who caused the reversal shall be taken;

Fair judgment.

If one of the parties abandons the engagement or dies, he or his heirs shall recover the dowry;

The one who paid it in kind or its value on the day of arrest if it was not possible to return it in kind.

If the fiancée buys a device for the amount or part of her dowry, then the suitor adjusts, she has the choice between returning the dowry or delivering the equivalent of the device at the time of purchase.

The dowry is the gifts that are traditionally considered part of the dowry.

- If one of the parties withdraws from the engagement, and there is no written condition - if there is a written agreement of the engagement;

A distinction must be made between two cases:

- If it is unjustified, then he has no right to recover anything he gave to the other, and the other has the right to retrieve what he gave, and this rule applies to the network as well.

- If the relinquishment is by reason, then he has the right to take back what he gave if it exists, and if it does not exist, he has to recover its value on the day of gifting it if it was lost or consumed, and the other has no right to take back anything he gave him, and this rule applies to the network as well.

- If the sermon ends with a return from the two parties, each of them recovers what he gave to the other if it exists, or in return for it if it is not subject to destruction. As for the network, it is divided between the two parties.

- If the betrothal ends with death, or because of a reason that one of the parties has no control over, or a proposal that prevented marriage, nothing of the gifts shall be recovered, as for the network, it is divided between the heirs of the deceased party and the other party.
