An analysis by *Al-Masry Al-Youm* of data from the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics found that 98,582 customary marriages were officially documented over five years—10.5% of the 936,739 marriage contracts recorded, or about one in ten. The number fell from 113,048 contracts in 2020, when the proportion was roughly three in ten. Men who had never married before accounted for 84% of the cases. Beheira Governorate had the highest number, with 9,800 contracts, followed by Sharqia with 7,664. Islam Amer, head of the marriage registrars’ syndicate, said that formally acknowledging a marriage is permissible under Islamic law when its conditions are met. He described customary marriage as “criminalized, not religiously forbidden,” and warned of problems that may arise, particularly when children are born.
