FD25P00113 - [2025] EWHC 2670 (Fam)

Child breastfeeding allowance of 3000 dirhams per month (£245 pcm)

The father put in further submissions on 8 April 2025 stating that her claims were materialistic and she had breached two of the objectives of marriage: chastity and fidelity. The mother and father made further submissions in April and May

On 20 May 2025 the mother sought permission to limit her claim to spousal maintenance only and for this court to make orders in relation to A. She said that matters relating to A’s maintenance were being dealt with by this court. The father has asserted that the Moroccan courts have rejected her application.

On 17 June 2025 the Moroccan court awarded compensation to the mother of 3,000 dirhams for “post divorce housing during the iddah period” and 77,000 dirhams in respect of consolation, equivalent to compensation (“mut’ah”). In total they amount to £6,400. The husband has paid those sums into court in Morocco. I am not clear whether the mother has access to those now.

On 15 July 2025 there is another hearing where there will be further consideration. I am not clear whether this is the final hearing or not.
