Moroccan women will also pay alimony to their ex-husbands

In Morocco, women with a higher income than their spouse may have to pay alimony (Nafaqa) to the latter in the event of a divorce, Abdellatif Ouahbi, the Minister of Justice, recently stated.

Ouahbi reiterates his desire to promote “true parity” between men and women. In an interview on Moroccan channel 2M on Monday, the minister suggested that women with a higher income in the couple should pay alimony or Nafaqa to their husband in the event of divorce.
