BAHIJA: ONE MOROCCAN CINDERELLA AT THE MEDINA OF MARRAKECH

By MOHAMED MOUNIB and KHADIJA KHARTIT

Bahija lived for eight years with a tyrannous aunt after her mother's death and her father's departure for the war in 1940. She fled from her region of Kenitra and got accidentally to Marrakech where she was raped at age sixteen by Kebbour Kamili, a forest ranger, who married her the next day and left her a few hours later.By chance, Bahija met Zoubida, who gave her shelter, found her work and supported her until she gave birth to her son Sa?d. Alhajja, the mother of Zoubida, predicted for Bahija a radiant future. She advised her, however, to get rid of her desire of vengeance so that the chance continue to serve her.After years, of great achievements, helped by good people with various nationalities, religions and origins, Bahija built a devilish plan with the complicity of her father, returning from Indochina, to poison her husband found after a long journey, while his brother, the Commissioner, prosecuted him for pimping, alcohol smuggling and cannabis trafficking. Faced with the danger, Kebbour Kamili, alias Bourass, played it all in.How did these two projects interweave, one of which was conducted in compliance with the law, and the other veered away from it? And what was the role of the chance in the life of a fighter such as Bahija?
