I totally agree. I experienced the same thing basically.

I couldn't of said it any better. That's exactky how it is. I was married to a moroccan for 4 years. It was the worst years if my life. I lived in morocco for a year too and I can say I saw a lot more then about their culture and how they really are, compared to the previous holiday visits I had before. The last time I was there my husband started beating me and infront of our one year old son. At one point he hit our son who was trying to help me and come to me. I was basically trapped there. He had taken my son and my Australian passports and wouldn't give them back. I left the house one day after he threatened to take the baby while I was sleeping and I would never find him in morocco. I left with my son and the clothes on my back. And took the train to the next city to the embassy, all by myself. Now any female who is a foreigner living in Morocco knows how scary that is, especially when you don't speak french or arabic. To make a long story short. My husband blocked me through the court, and prevented me from leaving and taking my son back home to Australia. A word of advise to any one who is planing on having children with a moroccan man, even if your child was born in your country, has another passport that's not moroccan. And even if the moroccan fathers name is not on the babies birth certificate, your moroccan husband can and will stop you from taking that child out of morocco.

Because in Morocco the father has to give permission for the children to travel. Now in my case my husband got court order to say I wasn't taking my son back home, just by our marriage. I spent 6 months going in and out of Islamic courts trying to get a court over to over rule him and let us out. We spent over 50,000 dollars having to bribe judges and policemen and more, to get someone to help us. The pictures of my bruises from were he beat me and my son was not enough apparently. In the end we got out. But it wasn't after months of hell. So that's the end part of my marriage to a moroccan. But the begging was much like this girl says too. Exactly. My ex sucked me in being a smooth talking, lien and all. He got me at the end of a huge break up with a long term bf. He promised the world. I took it hook line and sinker. I was so gullible and stupid. He talked to many women online still when we were married. He treated me like crap the moment he got his spouse visa into my country. He was crazy.

The only best thing that man ever gave me or had done, was to give me a beautiful baby boy who is nothing like his father. Thank god. Please if any women wants to marry one of these men, make sure you do your reserch and talk to other women who have experienced this thing. I still get messages on fb asking do I know Driss khadila and is he a good person. And they then proceed to tell me that this scum bag is talking to them online and they are in relationship, he has asked them to marry and has sent his papers to get visa or sponsorship. So even after me he is still trying to do the same thing. They don't care for anyone but themselves. They don't even care for their own children to us. All we are, is western whores who they thing little of. They will never take any westerner seriously. They have more respect for moroccan women on the street then us.
