Morocco proposes family law reforms to improve women's rights

Morocco is proposing significant amendments to its family law, known as the Moudawana, to enhance women's rights. These reforms aim to address issues like child marriage, inheritance, and polygamy, which have long been criticized for their discriminatory nature against women. The proposed changes include raising the minimum age for marriage to 18, ensuring equal inheritance rights for both genders, and imposing stricter conditions on polygamy. These reforms are part of a broader initiative by the Moroccan government to promote gender equality and align with international human rights standards. The draft law has sparked a national debate, with various groups advocating for or against the changes, reflecting the complex interplay between tradition, religion, and modern legal frameworks in Moroccan society.
