In particular, an Asian man filed a lawsuit against his wife, requesting that she compensate him for the material and moral harm he sustained from his wife's beating. The ruling also required her to pay fees and expenses, as well as attorney's fees, and it was enforced immediately without the need for bail. highlighting the fact that the injuries listed in the medical report were caused by the defendant's attack of his body. The accused was found guilty of a crime and fined 2,000 dirhams by the court; however, the defendant also showed up and filed a memorandum in response, asking for the case to be dropped.
