The 17-year-old only identified as Khaoula was attacked in Marrakech on Saturday after filing for divorce, the Tel Quel weekly said, citing the AMDH independent rights group. She suffered multiple cuts which "disfigured" parts of her body and required about 40 stitches, the French-language weekly reported. |
