The Swiss food giant Nestlé has cancelled an online publicity campaign in Morocco after social media users protested against its sexist content.
The mini-series, titled I Want to Get Married, featured five young women competing to win a husband by impressing by cooking skills his mother.
The first episode saw the would-be brides asked to make a dessert using Nestlé condensed milk.
Nestlé says it “sincerely regrets” that the content offended some viewers.

A number of Moroccans had lambasted the campaign, saying it was degrading and outdated to pick a wife as a ‘kitchen slave’.
