The sleeping child (maghrebi Arabic: ragued or bou-mergoud), according to Moroccan and the wider Maghrebian folk belief, is a fetus which has been rendered dormant by black or white magic and may eventually wake up and be born after the normal pregnancy term. This belief, supported by the concept that God's will controls everything and that no event should be considered truly impossible, is used by local communities to deal with occasional cases of pregnancy in women with absentee husbands, a frequent situation in the modern era due to the large number of males working as immigrant labor in Europe. This folk belief is used to dismiss an accusation of adultery and the consequences that such an accusation would bring.

  • الرَّاگدْ أو الرَّاقْدْ وباللّغة العَربية الجنين النائم هوَ مطلح عامّي مغربي مُنتشر في الأوساط الشعبية ويُقصد بهِ ولادة النساء بعد أشهر طويلة أو سنوات من الحمل. عادةً ما يرتبطُ هذا المصطلح بقصص السحر الأسود والشعوذة ولا زالت بعض الفئات من داخلِ المُجتمع المغربي تُصدّقه. (ar)
  • El mito del niño dormido (en bereber: bou-mergoud), presente en particular en Marruecos pero también en el resto del Magreb, es la creencia popular en la posibilidad de un «adormecimiento» del feto que supuestamente prolongaría el embarazo más allá del límite aceptado por la medicina moderna. Se creía, especialmente en las zonas rurales, que era posible dormir, tanto mediante magia blanca como por brujería, un feto cuya madre no deseara el nacimiento inmediato, en particular cuando el marido llevaba ausente un largo periodo. El embarazo así, se prolongaría por un periodo mucho mayor de nueve meses, lo que científicamente es imposible. Este viejo mito conoció un resurgir a finales del siglo XX con la emigración masiva de los hombres a Europa, dejando solas a sus esposas. (es)
  • Un enfant endormi (arabe : راقد (raqed) ou راگد (raged), berbère : bou-mergoud) est, selon une croyance présente dans certaines parties du monde musulman, un fœtus qui a suspendu ou ralenti son développement dans l'utérus de sa mère, prolongeant la grossesse au-delà de la période approximative de neuf mois communément admise par la médecine moderne. Il serait possible d'endormir, par voie de sorcellerie blanche, un enfant dont la mère ne souhaite pas la naissance immédiate, en particulier quand le mari est absent pour une longue période. Ce mythe a connu une nouvelle jeunesse avec l'émigration massive des hommes qui ont laissé sur place leurs épouses. (fr)

This folk belief is used to dismiss an accusation of adultery and the consequences that such an accusation would bring. This belief was acknowledged by traditional Islamic legislation in Morocco, and is still given as an explanation by some divorced or separated women expecting their ex-husbands to acknowledge the paternity of a child born up to twelve months after the separation. Article 154 of the current Mudawana in Moroccan law stipulates that a child born up to one year after the separation is considered as fathered by the ex-husband. The storyline of L'Enfant endormi (2005), a Belgo-Moroccan movie by Yasmine Kassari, is built around this theme. (en)
