We are going for a month and he is from northern morocco. We are going to spain as well because there is family all over the place. He is a U.S. citizen and was married to a american girl, but she died. So I know his family is used to american's already. When he brought her home to meet family they got married a month later, but they had already been dating for 2 years so I dont know. I'm afraid he may try rushing into things to fill the void of his deceased wife. But he already warned me of some of the culture like no hugging or kissing. What is everyone else's experiences with this? I read all these message boards and all I hear about moroccans is negativity, which is pretty sad. Do moroccan men really think less of women? I saw that passage in the Quran saying that men should beat their wives and scold them, thats not current belief right?
