I married my rapist | M6 | 66 minutes
Being forced to share your life with the man who raped you: that is the nightmare suffered by Anita, 15, along with thousands of other young Moroccans. In this country, stuck in tradition, a law allows a rapist to escape jail if he marries his victim. Anita preferred to poison herself rather than go on living by the side of her rapist. And her suicide has mobilized Moroccan feminists, who are demanding the abolition of this archaic law. However, many parents still prefer to impose this “solution” on their daughter to avoid dishonor and the celibacy to which the loss of virginity condemns you.
