Man hurts girlfriend to escape wife

A Moroccan man who was with his girlfriend at home in the North African Arab country had two choices when his wife knocked at the door — either to be brave and face her or throw his lover down from the first floor. He decided that he was not brave enough.

“He threw her through the window after his wife came back and knocked at the door,” newspapers said, quoting a police official in the western Atlantic port of Casablanca.

“The girl, 17, was not hurt as she landed on a pile of plastic bags on the pavement, but as she ran away, she banged into a wall as she was apparently in a shock. She hurt her head and was taken to hospital with some injuries.”

The papers said police interrogated the man but did not make clear if he still escaped his wife.
