I'm American. I got divorced in Morocco. I paid a lawyer to represent me; I wasn't there. The ex had to see a judge many times. Anyway, if the Moroccan woman wants a divorce, she can do it, it will be a hassle. The judge will ask what happened, where is he... I wouldn't recommend getting married in Morocco. First, the family knows the courts will favor the Moroccan, doesn't the West do the same, but the difference is you are in a foreign legal system. I can understand if children are involved. But if that's not the case let the man go. Also, Moroccan woman recently got the right to ask for a divorce; they aren't going to give up that right and the benefits (your wallet) that come with it. Also remember woman marry up; there will be expectations - hidden agendas. Also there will be culture shock - Culture plays a big role in Morocco. So, now let me be fair. I know several smart and religious men who found intelligent and religious Moroccan woman for marriage - Allahumma barak. I wasn't wise when I proposed; I had many red flags but didn't pay attention. Also, Westerners don't understand what colonization, historical trauma and generational poverty do to the mind. You can't understand why some Moroccans scam and insist on getting married in Morocco. So, try to learn the language, then begin to see the ugly and the beautiful side, the culture, and make a wise decision - apply that any poor country.
