Princess Lalla Abla bint Tahar (5 September 1909 – 1 March 1992) was the second wife of Mohammed V of Morocco.[citation needed]

She was the daughter of Moulay Mohammed al-Tahar bin Hassan,[1] a son of Sultan Hassan I of Morocco and twin brother of Sultan Moulay Yusef.[1] She also had Glaoua origins,[2] Abdessadeq el Glaoui explained in his 2004 publication that "Lalla Abla was chosen in the house Glaoui".[2]

She married her first cousin Sultan Mohammed V of Morocco in 1928[citation needed] or 1926.[1] Her elder sister Princess Lalla Hania bint Tahar married Sultan Mohammed Ben Aarafa of Morocco.

She had five children:

Her oldest sister, Lalla Hania bint Tahar, married Mohammed V's distant relative Mohammed Ben Aarafa, who claimed the Moroccan throne with the support of the French protectorate administration during the administration's 1953–1955 exile of Mohammed V to Madagascar.
