Morocco: stereotypes 

Whenever we think of Morocco or any Arab country, we generally think of those desert places, full of vendors in market places, of Muslim people, men in turbans and women with hijab and with their entire bodies covered.

                                             

Moroccan people practice Polygamy"

Polygamy is strongly connected to Morrocans and Arabs in general, because the way in which arabs were represented in the colonial era. Most of non Arabs still shaped the Arabs as passive, still use candles instead of electricity, a patriarchal society. The non Arabs think that Morrocan men do marry many women at the same time as in any other Arabian country. In fact, polygamy is almost not practical in Morocco. It is an uncommon practice among Morrocans, and legal restrictions limit it. Morroco`s law discourages polygamy. So that the majority of men in Morocco marry only one woman, except when the woman died, or has a health problem
