DNA tests in a high-profile incest case near Ain Aouda, outside Rabat, have confirmed that a 60-year-old man fathered four of his daughter’s six children, making him both their father and grandfather, according to case information obtained by Hespress AR.

The case involves the arrest of the man and his daughter on charges of incest and corruption after suspicions emerged that the woman, now 39, had given birth to six children by her father.

Genetic testing showed that three daughters, including the eldest who is now 20 and first brought the case to authorities, as well as one son, were biologically fathered by the accused. Tests are also being carried out to determine the biological father of the two remaining children, amid suspicions of another man’s involvement.

The man has admitted to having sexual relations with his daughter but denied abusing his granddaughters, who are also his daughters by blood.

The case came to light after the eldest daughter, born when her mother was 15, attempted to marry but discovered she lacked the official documents required for marriage registration. She filed a complaint against her grandfather, who is also her father, accusing her mother of forcing her into prostitution.

Court documents indicate that the daughter was allegedly married off informally, without a legal contract, to another man in the Oued Zem area. During that period, she reportedly endured sexual abuse by both her father and her unofficial husband, leading to the birth of four children.

The Rabat Court of Appeal is overseeing the investigation, with further genetic analysis pending to establish the full parentage of the children.
