Justice Minister Abdellatif Ouahbi and Minister of Endowments and Islamic Affairs Ahmed Toufiq who will attend a session of the House of Representatives’ Justice, Legislation, Human Rights, and Freedoms Committee to discuss the proposed changes.
The committee is set to address core issues in the amendments, including inheritance, divorce, custody, and alimony introduced in December 2024 during a session chaired by King Mohammed VI, as part of a broader review process.
Opposition groups, especially the Movement Party, have called for a joint parliamentary session to further discuss these changes.
They argue that a public forum is essential for clarifying the legal and religious implications of the reforms. Idriss Sentissi, leader of the Movement Party’s parliamentary group, emphasized the need for transparency to dispel public rumors and ensure a clear understanding of the Family Code’s impact on Moroccan society.
