The Divorcees’ Market in Mauritania - Shocking Mauritania

We travel through Mauritania, exploring Nouakchott, its mosques, desert landscapes, traditions, tea culture, food, poetry, and the country’s long desert train. We visit the Divorcees’ Market and learn why divorce is celebrated there, with women selling household belongings and often receiving more marriage proposals afterward. We also hear about the important role of Mauritanian women in family life and society.
