SAccording to the USFP press release, this meeting took place to discuss adjustments to the Family Code in response to the recommendations of the Ulema Council on religious texts and royal directives.
The first secretary of the USFP, during this meeting, praised the inclusive code review process, “beginning with the adoption of a series of extensive consultations,” underlines the press release. The USFP is proud to contribute to a project that meets the “transformations of society and the demands of the times,”adapted for a modern Morocco.
The press release adds that the party particularly appreciates the approach of the King, who in his capacity as Commander of the Faithful, submitted religious texts to the Council of Ulemas, thus avoiding any politicization of these texts. This approach is seen as a protection against the political use of Islam, thus promoting a unified national discourse.
Furthermore, the USFP expressed its appreciation for the royal encouragement to continue reflection and innovation in family jurisprudence. “This renewed framework will make it possible to deepen research on current legal issues surrounding the Moroccan family,” specifies the press release.
The party also welcomed the move to legalize these changes through the ordinary legislative process, marking a significant step forward in legislation. “The consecration of this legislative text… following the ordinary legislative route,” demonstrates Morocco's commitment to the principles of justice, equality, and solidarity anchored in both Islamic values and universal norms.
According to the press release, the USFP is also awaiting the upcoming bill, affirming its “total commitment to succeeding in this important project,” which meets not only the expectations of the party but also those of the women's movement and the country's democratic forces.
In conclusion, the USFP reaffirms its commitment to a societal project based on equality and social justice, with a view to strengthening the rights and integrity of each member of Moroccan society, in harmony with the demands of the modern world. .
