The case against young Egyptian actor Ahmad Fishawi, who is accused of getting married to Hind Hamdi Hinawi under civil law, has finally reached its final stages as Hind prepares to deliver the child she claims is Ahmad's. Hind has announced that she is waiting for the family court to make its verdict depending on the DNA test that will be made to prove the fatherhood of her child. 

 

According to the London based weekly, Sayidaty, Ahmad stressed that he will undergo the DNA test despite the fact that earlier in the case he had announced that he is willing to do the DNA test to prove that he is not the father of Hind's child. The question remains why Hind did not have the DNA test during the pregnancy and waited until her child is born. 

 

Ahmad was recently confronted with Hind’s father who revealed that he plans on appealing to the police to reopen the file and repeat the investigation with his daughter. Hind’s father claims that he has new documents and witnesses that will change the course of the case dramatically. 

 

An Egyptian court decided to postpone young Egyptian actor Ahmad Fishawi’s hearing for the complaint he submitted against Hind Hamdi Hinawi, who claims that she is secretly married to him, until September. Ahmad demanded that Hind be prosecuted for wrongfully accusing him of such a marriage and requested that a restraining order be placed on her. 

 

Recently, the court had decided to postpone the trial because Hind did not attend the hearing, and neither she nor her lawyer was previously notified of the trial date. It was revealed that Hind had filed another complaint against Ahmad and has new witnesses that she wishes to talk during the trial.  

 

Fishawi, who is accused of getting married to Hind under civil law, was confronted with Hind’s father who revealed that he plans on appealing to the police to reopen the file and repeat the investigation with his daughter. Hind’s father claims that he has new documents and witnesses that will change the course of the case dramatically. 

 

The father made it clear that he has romantic letters with Ahmad's hand writing to his daughter, which contradicts what Ahmad’s insistence that nothing is between them. He also referred that there were some eyewitnesses to the negotiations between the two parties regarding a secret wedding. 

 

Fadia Fahmi, a friend of Hinawi's family who works as an office manager atEgypt Air in Frankfurt came back to Cairo to testify in the case. According to Fadia, she had known about the secret marriage between Ahmad and Hind because Hind's mother told her about the whole issue and asked her to mediate between the two parties. –Albawaba.com
