"I'm covering my face right now, yes, because I'm afraid that people really could look at, see my face and pursue me or come and try to harm me," she was quoted as saying.
"It was love at first sight, you know, and we just married and, you know, it was so quick," Outalha said.
"He betrayed me in every way, many lies, he's been lying to me, I mean the marriage, he fooled me to this marriage."
Headley, alias Daood Gilani, claims he worked with officials from Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) agency to survey attack sites in India, even while on a Mumbai honeymoon with his new wife.
Indian authorities have sent a formal request to Morocco to hand over Outalha in the continuing investigation of the Mumbai attacks
