“There were no problems between my wife and I,” he added, pointing out that he had one day returned home to find no one there, his wife and money and jewelry amounting to 50,000 pounds ($7200) gone. “I informed the police about the disappearance only, and no one has yet investigated the matter.”
He continued, “Some locals told me they spoke to my wife at Al-Azhar office in Alexandria, and when I went to check for myself, I couldn’t get any information. When I asked Al-Azhar headquarters in Cairo, I was met with intransigence. After my incessant attempts, I was able to learn that my wife had converted to Islam, as well as our Philopater, who is now called Karim, and Fadi, whose name is now Yassin.”
Attiya revealed an important fact about Philopater’s teacher, who had been going to their home for private tutoring, as he would miss going to school sometimes due to long distance. The teacher, Hemmat, used to sit with his wife for hours after the lesson was over, and when he asked his wife about the reason behind this, she would tell him that they were discussing how to teach her children. He pointed out that they were in constant contact until his wife disappeared, but wasn’t able to gather any further information about her.
Attia’s wife contacted her sister, and told her that “she felt bored and left home.” She added that she lives with an old lady in the Red Sea governorate (?).
“I filed a lawsuit to prove my custody of the children,” said Attia, pointing to the famous case of Andrew and Mario, when the court had allowed their mother to keep their custody despite attempts by their (converted) father to gain custody after converting them to Islam. “My sons’ situation means that I have rightful custody, due to their age, and I had called for their grandmother to have custody over them, after her daughter went missing.”
