Equality for Women in Morocco’s Family Law

"The groundbreaking introduction of Morocco’s new Family Code in 2004 gave women greater equality and protection of their human rights within marriage and divorce, as mandated by Article 16 of the Convention. The new law embodies the principle of shared family responsibilities between the spouses. It was the product of extensive public discussion of challenges women faced under the previous law, as well as analysis of the implications of human rights standards and religious texts. To help ensure effective implementation of the new rights that have been guaranteed, the legislative changes were also accompanied by the creation of dedicated Family Courts, and the Ministry of Justice is enhancing the provision of support services and training for judges and court officials.

Introduction of the new Family Code has been part of a broader wave of important reforms within the country, including changes to the Labour Code to introduce the concept of sexual harassment in the workplace (2004), changes to the Penal Code to criminalize spousal violence, changes to the Nationality Code (2007) to give women and men equal rights to transmit nationality to their children as required by the Convention’s Article 9, and changes to the Electoral Code, which introduced a “national list” that reserved 30 parliamentary seats for women (2002).

In light of these extensive changes to the nation’s legal framework to protect women’s human rights, the Government has announced its intention to remove Morocco’s reservations to the Convention."
