text: Morocco: Morocco amended Article 475, which provided between one- and five-year prison sentence for a perpetrator that abducted or deceived a minor with no resort to violence or threat, or attempted to do so. The Article included a second clause that permitted the withdrawal of a persecution if the perpetrator married the girl or woman. The Parliament abolished the law in 2014 as it was considered to be at odds with the 2011 constitution.
