Morocco: Woman Arrested for Adultery After Husband’s Year-Long Absence

Back from a trip that lasted a year, a man finds that his wife, who already has three children, is pregnant with a fourth. She had therefore undoubtedly had an extramarital relationship. He filed a complaint against her and she was arrested.

The case of this illegitimate pregnancy is reported by several local media which specify that this arrest was carried out by the gendarmerie services, last Monday, June 17. However, the identity of her lover has not been revealed by the media.

The woman concerned was placed in custody, after being heard by the security services. She therefore remains at the disposal of the investigation conducted under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor’s office. Probably, she will appear before the judge, to answer the facts she is accused of.
