Moroccan Scandal Spotlighted On Australian Media

Moroccan Scandal on Daily Mail

British newspaper “Daily Mail” quoted the Australian TV program “Current Affair” by reporting the details of the relationship between Faisal Khan, an Australian citizen, and a Moroccan girl, Asmae. They met on a website dedicated to marriage for Muslims. After months of chatting online, he decided to travel to Morocco, meet her, marry her, and take her to Australia.

After eight months, punctuated by many disputes, Faisal Khan discovered that his wife Asmae had married him based on obtaining an Australian visa. She did not love him, so he decided to divorce her. Discovering an email that Faisal sent to his lawyer to start the divorce procedure, she concocted an evil plan. According to the Australian TV program, he came back home to find the apartment completely trashed. Asmae was waiting for him to throw this in the face: “You think you are smart about me, and you’re talking to lawyers. Now see what I do to you,” as she ran out of the room to the elevator. In the elevator, CCTV caught her beating herself upbefore she fled the building and called the police. Growing up in Morocco, she forgot that the cameras are everywhere in Australia, including the elevator

Less than an hour later, the police came to the house and took him in on charges of assaulting his wife. Faisal spent over $20,000 in lawyers and court fees. Thank God he was saved by the footage of the elevator cameras that caught Asmae repeatedly punching her face in an attempt to frame him. The footage exposed her and the scenario she started, from vandalizing the house to the “physical assault.”

“I didn’t think she would go to that extent and go to the police after everything I did for her and forget everything and just ruin my life,” he told Australian TV, expressing his wish for her deportation back to Morocco.


Many Moroccan social media users called her names for giving another bad image of Moroccans in Australia, a country that opened its embassy in Morocco less than four years ago. While the media has exposed the potential dangers of online dating through this example with Moroccans, the Moroccan Drama never stops…
