Rabat: Morocco’s Family Code reform is a consensual project that aligns with the country’s evolving social realities while preserving the family as the foundation of society, former Senegalese Culture Minister Penda Mbow said. “His Majesty King Mohammed VI ensured an inclusive process by involving all stakeholders to reach a consensus that protects all family members and fosters a stable society,” Mbow told MAP.

According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, Mbow highlighted the reform’s pragmatic approach in addressing challenges faced by Moroccan families, particularly in regulating polygamy to prevent potential social issues. She emphasized the significance of growing openness to dialogue, which is paving the way toward a consensus that safeguards women’s and children’s rights, ultimately strengthening the family and ensuring societal stability.

Mbow noted that the revised code prioritizes family unity, emphasizing marriage, its conditions, and the couple’s well-being, while adapting to modern social dynamics. The reform reflects a forward-thinking approach that responds to the evolving needs and challenges of Moroccan society, ensuring that the family unit remains robust and harmonious.
