moroccan culture

I have an Argentinian friend who got her degree as a chef and travelled to spain to start working there.

After some months she met a moroccan man and they started living together sharing a flat.

Now after 9 months she is pregnant and he told her that he has a wife in morocco.

He doesn`t want to let her coming back to Argentina, but he wants her to live near him,

not with him , anymore, because he doesn`t want to face this situation because of his family and religion.

He�s asked her to abort the baby, but she`s going to keep him, anyway.

we have some questions because we don`t know about their culture and religion, this is just to be informed,

because we suspect that he goes on lying to her.

the questions are:

is it true that the first wife can ask him the divorce as well as sign in order to accept a second wife?

has he got the obligation of signing as the baby�s father?

what could be the consequences for him religiously speaking?

I know that this is not a site for personal affairs but i felt the necessity of helping my friend.

thanks to all of you.

Hi nabila, I can�t help you but I felt like I should write sth. I can�t imagine how horrible that could be. Please, give your friend a big hug because she must be feeling very lonely. When I read what you have said I feel like I wanted to hug my friends. Cry

It�s very sad and I hope she get well. My advice is that she deliver the baby in Argentina if she can. I remember one of my sister�s friends that had a child in Brazil and her husband didn�t allow her to get back home with her baby.
I hate when man does this kind of things. Children must be with their mother (if they are good). I don�t want to bring up such a difficult issue to this forum but I hope someone could answer to your questions.
Best regards.

Hi Nabila,

It�s a very delicate situation, I�m very sorry, but I agree with Mishuna, you have to make her come back to Argentina before the baby is born, otherwise, it�s going to be a lot difficult for her to come back after the baby is born.
