Muslim and Coptic marriages in Egypt
In Egypt a Muslim marriage is documented by a ma'zoun, a licensed marriage registrar, and a Christian marriage - for Jersey City's large Coptic community, usually an Orthodox church marriage - by a notary attached to the church. Both are then registered with the Civil Registry, which issues the computerised marriage certificate.
The ma'zoun's contract records the dower in two parts, advance and deferred, and names the witnesses; the civil certificate records far less. Which one a filing needs depends on what it has to prove, and the translation makes clear which document is which.
