I can’t marry a Moroccan police officer ?!!
Hi there. I’m a Moroccan woman ( born and raised ) with French citizenship. I still own my card Maroccain and also have been divorced for a while now. I’ve met a kind man who’s job is some high ranked police officer position. We have been talking marriage but apparently any Moroccan police officer gets inspected by law and so does the future bride ( myself ) prior to marriage. NOW THE PROBLEM IS: I unfortunately have a son who is currently in prison ( back in France ) and I’ve been told that the investigation is extended to my family as well and with such misconduct charges regarding my son, the country ( Morocco ) won’t allow my current partner to marry me. I’m not understanding how my son’s current status is reflecting on me and I want to make sure that this is true? I know I could just ask my partner about it, but I’m uncomfortable talking about this with him. If you couple please help me understanding that would be great. Also, my daughter lives in America and she was telling me to maybe go get married in Vegas that way we are still married by law but again I’ve been told by some Moroccan people that my partner could risk jail for that ( ?!? ). I’m very confused. Thank you

I can't sleep at night!!
Salam guys, I'm struggling with a severe sleep schedule disruption. I stay up all night and fall asleep in the morning. This is taking a toll on my health and preventing me from functioning normally. I've tried to adjust my sleep patterns by staying awake during the day, but I still can't sleep at night. I'm not sure what's causing this issue... I'm really suffering 😞

South Asian men going after Moroccan Women
Hello everyone,
I recently posted on this subreddit about a situation involving my father, who has been pursuing a second marriage with a woman from Morocco without informing our family. He had been texting her for months and even went to visit her. As a South Asian woman, I've noticed a growing trend within our community, particularly among men in the UK, seeking second wives from Morocco. This topic has become widely discussed, and I wonder if it raises any concerns for others as well.
I’m curious if the Moroccan community finds this behavior problematic or objectifying. Personally, I feel it perpetuates certain stereotypes, particularly an idealization of Arab features and the perception that Moroccan women are more open to interracial marriages. Additionally, there seems to be a belief that the Mehr (dowry) is lower, which might be making them more appealing to men in the West.
From my perspective as a South Asian woman, it’s frustrating to see our own women being viewed as less desirable by our own men. For instance, I once had an experience where a man seemed interested in me, but as soon as he found out I was Indian rather than Middle Eastern, he completely lost interest—even though he was also Indian himself. To be completely honest ive never experienced that kind of response from anyone apart from the men in my own community. Nobody else seems to care. Theres a huge complex going on.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Does anyone else share similar concerns?

Is polygamy normal in Moroccan culture
Im writing on this subreddit to undertand the cultural nuances a bit more. Long story short my father tried to marry a lady from casablanca. My mum was extremely upset and the lady from Casablanca was very dissmisive and said she has ‘no idea why my mum is upset about this it is very common in our culture, please dont let anyone make u believe you are doing something wrong’. I just want to know how common polygamy is in Moroccan culture and was her attutude of being shocked to my mums reaction sincere? Thank you

Got jumped by a gang in Casablanca
In the night of Monday 26 august around 11:30 pm me and my friend were walking around anfa park . Until we passed by a group of boys (15-20 people “animals “) , one of them came to me and told me “malk kat tkhzz” i told him malk , he tried to punch me ( my friend was behind me ) and then ALL of his friends started running towards us, so i ran away to the nearest red light and THANK GOD there was a taxi with the door open and one empty place . So i got in my friend too got in another taxi and hamdolilah we both got away safe and they didn’t take anything from us . Now that i got home and the adrenaline is gone i really want to press charges cause im afraid they will attack other innocent persons ,me and my friend got away cause we’re young men in good shape but i can only imagine what they will do to a single lady, but i will travel in the 2nd of September and also im afraid they will try and come after me for revenge cause they were literally around 20-15 people and i don’t want my family to know about this incident. Will the ma7dar and chikaya process be time consuming and will they send any document home ?????

Foreigner female wearing jillaba
Hello
My girlfriend has bought and is wearing jillaba. Yesterday she noticed that local females here in Essaouira are giving her a lot of bad looks as she would have killed their husbands or something. Male locals are often commenting with something like "nice Jillaba".
Is it socially not acceptable for foreign females to wear jillaba or are we misinterpreting the situation?
Thanks

Climbing in Tafraoute - what language?
Hi all,
I'm travelling to Morocco for trekking and rock climbing in November. We'll be in the Tafraoute/Ida Ougnidif region. I like to learn a few phrases in the local language wherever I go. What language would you say would be appreciated most by the local people? Arabic? Tamazight?
Specifically: hello, thank you, goodbye, cheers/a toast
If there's any other tips or advice, I'm happy to hear them. It's important to me to be respectful.
Thanks

Men, what are useful items you need and use regularily?
I like giving my partner "thoughtful gifts". I don't want the obvious answers but things you need on a regular basis, even things like socks or nail clippers.
I have already posted this question on a different subreddit, and even though I liked some answers, most of them aren't tailored for a muslim Moroccan guy.
Context:
I don't wanna give a profound context about him since I want the answers to be real. Maybe a little bit tailored to him but anything is welcome.
The more answers the better as I like surprising him every once in a while..
I have the habit of getting him a nice notebook and pen with some stationary items, and I love it more that he USES them. I don't plan on stopping this habit of stationary items, but I am thinking of something more useful.
Little about him:
He uses his laptop a lot. Reads articles online alot. Writes a lot (on a notebook as well as on a laptop). He is calm, chill. We like going on long walks together and going on atay dates together.
Ideas I liked:
Powerbank, socks, shaving kit (soap, beard brush..), a wrist mouse pad, notebook, pen,
Answer on the basis of something you actually need! Not something "nice".
A lot suggested a pocket knife. A huge percentage suggested that or a flashlight? I don't think it would be THAT useful? We don't use cans and we dont drink so we don't also use these kits.

How Moroccan Inheritance Laws Made Me Question Everything
Growing up in Morocco, I’ve seen firsthand how inheritance laws based on Islamic Sharia can really mess things up for families. These laws are supposed to be fair, but the reality is often far from it. Take this for example: if your parent dies before your grandparent, you and your siblings get nothing from your grandparent’s estate. All the wealth goes to the surviving children, and the grandchildren are left out entirely.
This isn’t just a hypothetical situation, it's something I’ve lived through. My father spent his entire life working on multi million dollar assets and farms that belonged to my grandparent , and he put barely anything in his name, but when he passed away, we were completely cut out of the inheritance. My uncle and his family took advantage of the situation, convincing my grandparent that they couldn’t go against God’s law and give us anything.
The whole thing left me feeling betrayed and angry, and made me resent my family, the country and the religion. It’s hard to wrap my head around how something that’s supposed to be just and fair can leave people feeling so bitter and broken.
I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. What do you guys think? How can we even begin to address something that feels so deeply rooted in our culture and law?

Website to find a private chef ?
I m just looking for a new private chef, for a small household of 4 persons, and wondering where I can look for one ? My actual cook was nice but is retiring to care for her grandchildren, and wasn’t that trained or innovative, I would need someone with a background in restaurant and versed in Moroccan, Mediterranean, French and ideally able to learn Asian. Also how much should I pay ? The cook was at 4,000 a month. I expect a chef to ask more.

fathers name ….. the same name like my fathers …. And all my world break . This random Girl , was my half sibling . My mother felt it somehow, she saw her outside and invited all just because of this girl remembered her of her own daughter ..
we both was crying , we changed numbers and she told me we will stay in contact .
We did , I was asking her all questions that I had in me for all this years . Every answer she had, was pure torture to me .
She was the daughter from his wife , when my mother found out he had a wife and she was pregnant at the same time , she was growing up with my father and 2 siblings . He was living all the years almost next to me . Same city just other district. He also had a wife in Morocco with 4 siblings. 4 other baby’s (all in my city!!!) so I have 11 siblings, that I maybe was meeting in my lifetime a several time and not knows . And to some of his Kids he has more contact than to others .
It was to much for me , I didn’t wanted this . My sister told me , she will make Fotos from all of us and we make meeting to know each other , but I wasn’t in this state of mind . I couldn’t make it mentally so I broke the contact . I just run away from this situation.
10 years later … in this time I grew up, I moved in my own apartment , worked hard, convert to Islam , worked on my self and build a life . Then I met my husband ( Moroccan) and we married and become our first Child .. then on Facebook a Guy added me as friend . I told my husband to look , because I don’t know people from Morocco , so he can check if it’s for him. It was for me ….. a Guy from Fez that told me , he’s my older brother . I let my husband talk with him. My Darija is bad and I wanted him to do it . This Man ( my brother ) was talking just shit , yes he was my brother , but he was rude , blamed my mother as a for having me without marriage and then blamed me for not searching for him, he said it would be on me to search the family . My husband was mad as hell at him , they both was fighting and after this I was checking Facebook and found my father and a few siblings and all … I was writing my father , what his son thinks he is that he talks to me like this . My father answers „ a this is Jaward , he is crazy „ and he added me on Facebook 😐….
I was talking with the family from my husband about this hole situation, that I wanted to meet „ my family“ and meet my father to talk with him now for the first time about all what happened in the past . But they afraid . They told me it don’t sound they are good people , I should stay away from them . My husband is behind me , he will accepted when I try to talk to them , but of course he won’t let me alone .
I’m Morocco now , I was with my husbands family and my kids .. we were vistiting a few cities and after we was in Tétouan , we was driving to a city near to Fez …. I don’t know if I should write my father , that I’m here . We didn’t talk since the situation with jaward . But jaward sometimes was sending pictures of his kids and family and my grandmother . He also told me that my father is living in fez again .
I don’t know what to do. In Islam , I have to try to forgive him . But in me is this feeling that I don t can take a toxic reaction again and especially not for my kids . They young now 4 and 2 but I think I need the decision now. What to do in future and what to tell my kids . They just now my mothers side family .
What’s your opinion?
