Morocco's long-awaited reform of the Family Code (Moudawana) was published in the Official Bulletin on [date], marking a significant legal milestone. The revised code introduces changes to marriage, divorce, and inheritance rules, among other provisions.
However, the publication has not ended the strike by Moroccan lawyers, who have been protesting for weeks. The lawyers' syndicates argue that certain provisions of the new code could undermine legal protections and have called for further amendments.
The strike has disrupted court proceedings across the country, with many hearings postponed. The Ministry of Justice has urged lawyers to return to work, emphasizing the importance of the judicial system's functioning.
Legal experts note that the reform is part of broader social changes in Morocco, but its implementation will require careful monitoring to ensure it meets the needs of all citizens.
