lii Kgypt the ordinary marriage takes place, lit » very early age. .Many of Llie brides aro little mote than 10 years old and fete have passed 1(! on their wedding day (stales a contemporary). Kgyptian haehelors are rare, for public opinion considers it dis- | ropnlahlo for a man to remain single once lie hits reached the marrying age. The aetnal ceremony i- simplicity itself. It is performed before two witnesses by a liki—that is. one who routes the Koran. The husband never sees his wife-to-be before the wedding night. all matters, including that of the dowry, being arranged for him. Where tins bride ' a simian nho has not previously been married, there are great festivities, which, in the ease ol the upper classes, may lasL as long as II days and nights. These rejoicings are timed to end on the eve of either Friday or Monday. The bride is then conveyed in procession lo the bridegroom’s house, accompanied by her female friends, musicians, and entertainers. Women are regarded as strictly inferior in households where the old customs are still in vogue. They do not sit in the presence of their lord, hut attend him at his meals. The mother is (lie only woman who enjoys anything approaching equality. although true companionship between husband and wife exists in certain circumstances. Divorce is an easy matter. The husband has but to sav. ••Thou art divorced." and when this is repeated three times the separation is complete and the -dowry returned. Kgyptian men exhibit a great: liking for Knropean women. .Not only do they believe that marriage with them heightens their prestige, hut they also know thin the white wile retains her heanly and charm much longer than Ihe Kgyptian. who is past her best at •JO. Tlie Knropean woman by the act of marrying a Ma.hommedau is held to have embraced the Moslem faith, ami must he ready to accept the position of inferiority which women hold under that religion.
