Who is Mohammed from Year of the Elephant: A Moroccan Woman's Journey Toward Independence, and Other Stories and what is their importance?

Mohammed was Zahra's husband. He happened to see her on the street, and believed she had the right physical attributes to suit him in marriage. He was said to be very selective about previous candidates for his wife, and found Zahra to be ideal. He asked Zahra's family for her hand in marriage, and they consented. Zahra herself was left out of the process in this arranged marriage.
