I live in Morocco and am a man! What I can tell you is that Morocco suffers from a deep issue of culture! I am not making an excuse for men who treat women this way (which is a very accurate description @macritique) but rather showing that our population suffers from mental health issues.

Growing up multi-cultured, I have to guess that the reason for such disgusting behavior is rooted in a deep insecurity of the Moroccan man having no clue who he really is
