Drawing from Pierre Bourdieu’s work on masculine domination, this paper analyzes the central role played by the discourse about sexuality in building the hierarchy between women and men in Morocco. Focusing on the issues of virginity, rape and reproductive rights, it conducts an examination of the construction of sexuality in social practices, cultural productions and legal texts. In addition, this examination is corroborated with strategic testimonies from biographies and auto-fictions. In the 1970s, Fatima Mernissi analyzed the impact of the construction of female sexuality on women’s rights within Islamic jurisprudences. A few years later, Soumaya Naamane-Guessous conducted a major sociological research study on the taboos associated with the female body, and their impact on female sexuality. Abdessamad Diamly has devoted several research papers to investigating sexuality in Morocco. His research includes exploring sex education for youth, the female body within the patriarchal paradigm, and the relationship between religious fundamentalism and sexual taboos in Morocco. Like Mernissi, Naamane-Guessous and Dialmy, I argue that sexuality plays a major role in women’s marginalization. However, my study goes beyond this kind of research. It identifies social and political mechanisms working to transform women’s biological bodies into feminine bodies belonging to the collective. An inevitable devaluation of women’s human potential accompanies this transformation. Structured in three parts, this paper exposes the impact of the construction of sexuality on the appropriation of women’s bodies, the dismissal of their intellectual capabilities as inferior, and the denial of their personal autonomy which by extension leads to the subjugation of their wills to their spouses and relatives. The conclusion explores strategies pursued by scholars and women’s groups who aim to re-appropriate their bodies.
