Everything you need to know about Hiba Abouk’s parents? The actor’s strict education

Hiba Abouk’s divorce from Achraf Hakimi took an unexpected turn when she discovered that her assets were in her mother’s name.

Abouk’s divorce filing reportedly included a request for more than half of Hakimi’s assets, totaling approximately $6.5 million. According to Abouk’s statement, she and Hakimi divorced before Hakimi was accused of rape.

Abouk’s Muslim parents were strict and conservative, but she was not forced to wear a hijab.

Hiba Abouk, the youngest of four siblings, was born on October 30, 1986 in Madrid, Spain. Her Libyan father’s great-grandfather was a gypsy and her mother was from Tunisia, where her family lived before settling in Madrid.

About grew up in a strict Muslim home led by conservative parents. Certain topics, including youth romance, were taboo in her family, he told El Comercio. “Even to this day, I never talk about my private life,” Abouk said. “My family instilled that in me.”

AD Abouk’s parents forbade her from behaving like a typical teenager.

“I didn’t have the same customs as my friends at school,” he explained. “They didn’t let me spend the night at a friend’s house.” “They were extremely strict.”

According to her, the rigor arises from a conservative vision of how a young Muslim woman should live. “She [her mother] works, but she has no independence tradition,” Abouk told La Vanguardia. “She believes that women should be passive, that we are not given privileges for our own good and that a husband is more important than a career.”

Surprisingly, Abouk’s parents did not pressure her to wear a hijab, a common garment for Muslim women. According to Abouk, her mother never wore a veil.

“I never had to make the decision whether to cover up or not, and I never considered it,” he explained. “To be a Muslim it is not necessary to wear a veil.”

Abouk told La Vanguardia that she is not opposed to the hijab and believes that women should be allowed to wear whatever they want. “I know veiled women who are feminists,” Abouk explained. “The hijab is criticized and I think it is an excuse to criticize Islam.” “I am completely opposed to Islamophobia.”

Abouk’s parents did not believe she would be a successful actress.

Abouk stated that he followed his mother’s advice and studied hard. “Of the four brothers, I was the only one who followed my mother’s advice and the one who studied the most,” Abouk explained. However, he chose a career outside of academia: acting. Her decision put her at odds with both her mother, who wanted Abouk to study medicine, and her father, who thought Abouk could not succeed as an actress. As a result, Ella Abouk left home in her late teens, proving her parents wrong. She abouk explained:

“No one supported me. So, at 18, I left home. I have a lot of personality. At first, you might think of her young daughter leaving home to pursue her dream of becoming an actress. I was the worst person on the planet. But now I have persuaded them.”

Despite her acting talent, Abouk almost failed because casting directors rejected her due to her Arab ethnicity. Ella Abouk had faced discrimination due to her ethnicity her entire life, so she was not surprised when casting directors overlooked Arab actors.

“When I left home for the first time, in the first calls I made looking for work, everyone lost interest when I said my name,” Abouk explained. “Sometimes I faked it, but it was difficult for me to lie.”

Despite speaking Spanish fluently and without an accent, Abouk was rejected, supposedly because of her accent. Abouk shortened her name to hide her origins. She elaborated:

“They [her agents] suggested I change my name, but I didn’t want to disown my ancestors.” Of course, we shortened it: my full name is Aboukhris.”
