Fouad Laroui - A Polish doki marokkói menyegzője

The Moroccan story of the Polish doc's wedding is of the kind that begins as farcically as possible and ends as touchingly as possible. "The bridegroom, who was again lifted high by the broad shoulders of the workers, folded up the hood of his white jellaba - by now dirty with all kinds of stains, grease, grass, wine and by no means spotless... he began... how can I say it? ... he looked at the woman in complete astonishment. For Dávija was beautiful, very beautiful, the kind of local beauty that is born from the meeting of Berber and Banú-Hilál blood." "That's just an excuse, boss. And there's no evidence that a murder actually took place. A coppersmith, a certain Dadúsi, proposed to a beautiful girl in the Kennaria quarter, and the family agreed to the marriage. The preparations for the wedding were just underway, when Pasha Mulaj Mimún unfortunately found the woman for himself. The coppersmith disappeared overnight. He went to one of his clients and did not return. He was never seen again. So after a few months, the Pasha could also know the beauty among his wives. Not long after later he still refused, to the great shame of the angry family. They say the Pasha made the coppersmith disappear."
