The Mudawana, which was pushed through the Moroccan parliament has granted women more power and has given a positive enhancement for women's rights in Morocco.
The code
Many aspects of family affairs were covered by the Mudawana.
- Polygamy, while still allowed, became more difficult under the new Mudawana. Couples now have to go to court to obtain a divorce rather than just getting a letter of repudiation from a religious official. (See Islamic marital jurisprudence)'
