A US court has awarded a $500 million payout to a Kuwaiti ambassador after he accused his ex-wife of adultery and forgery.
Sadiq M. Marafi, a Kuwaiti ambassador claimed that his now ex-wife, Hind El-Achchabi had lied to him before and after their marriage regarding several issues, including the paternity of their children.
El-Achchabi claimed that her relationship with the Kuwaiti diplomat ended years ago and that she divorced him before she married a Moroccan businessman, while the Kuwaiti diplomat claimed that she is still married to him and the divorce papers are forged.
According to Al Rai media, the Kuwaiti diplomat had filed cases in different countries over the course of five years to resolve this issue.
A Moroccan court had previously imprisoned El-Achchabi and her new husband for two years.
The case has been a constant topic of discussion in Morocco, with people supporting both - the defendant and the plaintiff.
