Dr. Hassan Abyaba: Towards Amendments to the Family Code According to a Model for a Cohesive Society
Dr. Hassan Abyaba outlines the framework and phases for reforming Morocco's Family Code, launched by the Royal Letter to build a cohesive social model. The process involves three key stages: receiving proposals, evaluating them across targeted groups (children, women, spouses), and categorizing them through religious, social, and socio-economic frameworks. Highlighting practical constraints like economic hardships affecting alimony obligations, he calls for constructive Ijtihad and the inclusion of experts in family economics and sociology to draft legal solutions aligned with Morocco's 2035 New Development Model.
