The fact that Egyptian singer Sherine Abdel Wahab was hospitalized in a rehabilitation center by her family and the lack of legal custody has created controversy in the country. Due to the situation reminiscent of the custody struggle of the USA pop star Britney Spears against her father, Wahab began to be called the 'Britney Spears of Egypt'.

Many allegations were made on social media about the 42-year-old pop singer Sherine Abdel Wahab being admitted to the treatment center. It was claimed that the singer, who is shown among the pop stars of the Arab world, was forcibly imprisoned by his family and his money was confiscated.

She Was On The Agenda In Egypt And The World

Fans of the 42-year-old pop star and many Egyptian artists, activists and journalists expressed their reactions to the issue. "I never thought I'd call her the Britney Spears of Egypt," said Mahmoud Salem, one of the country's leading bloggers.

The Sherine Abdel Wahab case re-discussed the issue of women's rights in Egypt. Because, according to the law approved a year ago in the country, father and brother were given the authority to annul the marriages of sisters and sisters of women.
