Morocco's justice and Islamic affairs ministers presented a significant overhaul of the family law, introducing over 100 amendments focused on enhancing women’s rights in custody and marriage.
Justice Minister Abdelatif Ouahbi emphasized that while the inherited rule favoring men remains, individuals will now be able to bequeath assets to female heirs.
Activists remain skeptical as the reforms do not meet their full demands for equality in inheritance and child custody, nor do they ban child marriage.
King Mohammed VI's approval is necessary, and he insists on a new family code that respects Islamic principles while aiming for justice and equality.
