Magda Ashraf (Arabic: ماجدة أشرف) is an Egyptian woman from the Sharqiya Governorate who gained widespread public attention in 2025 as the victim in a prominent case of electronic blackmail and violation of marital privacy.

Magda Ashraf short biography

Magda Ashraf resides in the Sharqiya Governorate, Egypt, with reported ties to areas such as Abu Kabir and Al-Husayniyah. Details about her date of birth, education, or professional background remain undisclosed in public records.

Ashraf entered into a customary (urfi) marriage at the age of 14. The union lasted approximately one and a half years before the couple separated for seven years. They later reunited for eight months, after which the husband traveled abroad for work.

During his time overseas, Ashraf participated in private video calls with her husband, who recorded intimate content shared at his request. Following marital disputes, the husband allegedly disseminated these materials online through accounts created in her name, resulting in widespread public circulation and defamation.

In response, Ashraf filed official complaints and appeared on Egyptian television programs, including Al-Qahira wal Riyadh with host Abeer Daghim in August 2025, where she described her experiences with child marriage and subsequent blackmail.

In late 2025, the Hihya Criminal Court in Sharqiya sentenced her former husband to 10 years in prison for disclosing secrets of marital life and publishing private content without consent. The case has been cited in discussions on revenge pornography and digital privacy violations in Egypt.

As of December 2025, no additional verified details about Ashraf’s ongoing personal or professional life are publicly available.
