Today, the Egyptian court ruled in favor of actress Zina in her lawsuit against actor Ahmed Ezz, wherein she demanded an increase in the "support for her twins".
The court imposed a monthly support payment on Ahmed Ezz for the twins, "Ezz El-Din and Zain El-Din," increasing it from 30,000 Egyptian pounds to 60,000 Egyptian pounds, equivalent to approximately $3,819, covering "food and clothing." The support case has gone through several stages between Ahmed Ezz and Zina. In 2018, the court ordered Ezz to pay 20,000 pounds, and in 2019, Zina filed for an increase to 30,000 pounds, a ruling that was also in her favor.
Zina previously filed a lawsuit requiring Ezz to pay annual school fees for the twins, and in May 2020, the family court ruled in her favor, obligating Ezz to pay 900,000 pounds ($57,299) for the twins' annual expenses at an international school in Cairo. In September 2020, the court ruled in favor of Ahmed Ezz, acquitting him of allegations of assault against Zina's brother and sister at a hotel in the North Coast, imposing a fine of 10,000 pounds on Zina's brother, and also ordering him and his sister to pay Ezz 20,000 pounds as temporary civil compensation.
It's worth noting that Zina returned from the U.S. in January 2014 with the twins "Ezz El-Din and Zain El-Din," claiming their paternity to Ahmed Ezz, who completely denied this, stating there was no relationship between him and Zina other than professional. This led Zina to resort to the courts, but due to the absence of a marriage contract, as Zina claimed their marriage was a customary one, the judiciary required Ahmed Ezz to undergo genetic testing multiple times, which he consistently refused. This refusal led the court to consider it evidence and rule to establish the children's paternity to him, a decision contested by the actor.
In January 2016, the Court of Cassation issued a final ruling establishing the paternity of the children to Ahmed Ezz, prompting Zina to file for child support in Egyptian courts, which ruled in her favor and ordered Ahmed Ezz to pay 20,000 pounds as support for their children at that time.
