Suspended Wives, is a 2021 Moroccan movie, directed by Merieme Addou. with a runtime of 77 minutes.
Suspended Wives (Lmaalkat) is a Moroccan documentary that exposes the stark legal inequality facing women who wish to end their marriages in Morocco. While men are permitted to remarry just six months after a separation, women seeking divorce face an almost insurmountable bureaucratic ordeal. The film follows three women — Ghita, Latifa, and Saadia — as they navigate this labyrinthine system, capturing their frustration, resilience, and determination. A powerful and timely documentary that shines a light on systemic gender injustice embedded in Moroccan family law.
