Question about morrocan marriage law

[Jilted]

My Moroccan husband left me unexpectedly a few months ago. I am a British citizen and our marriage is recognised in Moroccan law. I have left him numerous emails to divorce me as it is ominous that he does want to continue with this marriage. I know that he cannot afford to divorce me as he needs to give me dowry. He is residing in Morocco and my question is if a husband has not been in contact with his wife for over three months without any reason, would I be able to report him to the police in Morocco? What I would like for him to do is to divorce me as he was the one who has left the marital home and also I should get what is owed to me. I have heard that the Moroccan marriage laws are strict and if the spouse is not in contact with their other half for so many months he/she could be jailed? Is this the case? Any help would be appreciated

If what you want is to put him behind bars, I doubt that'll ever happen.

Hi and welcome Jilted, I don't really know where you stand legally within Moroccan law. But surely if your marraige is truely over without any hope of reconcilliation, Then would it not be better to end it. Even if it means you having to divorce him. The thought of getting him jailed for whatever reason I think may be a futile one. Better to end it with dignity as well as you can and move on in a positive way with the rest of your life.

I wish you well.
