It was not love that brought Carmella Mariea Zerrouki to the court’s doorstep on April 21, 2025—it was disillusionment carved into silence. She had believed in the sanctity of February 14, 2022, when she exchanged vows with Nour Eddine Zerrouki in Jackson County, Missouri. Yet that date, she now pleads, should be struck from legal record—not for what it signified, but for what it concealed.
In a petition filed at the Circuit Court of Jackson County in Independence, Carmella, through her attorney Les D. Wight of the Law Offices of Les D. Wight, LLC, seeks to annul the marriage or, in the alternative, dissolve it. The petition outlines a sequence of allegations that render the union void of truth: deception to gain a Green Card, hidden homosexuality, a web of undisclosed financial dependencies, and behavior that she describes as emotionally and physically abusive—not only to her but to her children.
The marriage, she states, was not built on mutual respect but on calculated misrepresentation. No children were born from it, no property shared or gained. She seeks not just release, but restoration—of her name, her property, and her dignity.
Her request is stark: to undo what was done, to acknowledge not merely the end of a marriage but the unveiling of a fraud. In the cold echo of this courtroom, what she asks for is not merely legal relief—but truth given the weight of law.
