Moroccan Couple Faces Adultery Charges After Boat Encounter in Boujdour

The case dates back to November 30th when a couple was "discovered" on a boat by fishermen. The latter did not hesitate to call the police, reports the local site agadir24.

Placed in custody at the disposal of the investigation opened under the supervision of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the young man, a guard, and his mistress were brought before the Attorney General.

It should be noted that Article 489 of the Moroccan Penal Code is very clear on adultery. "Any married person convicted of adultery shall be punished by imprisonment for one to two years. Prosecution shall be brought only on the complaint of the offended spouse."
