In 2004, after decades of advocacy by women’s and human rights groups, Morocco’s Parliament adopted a new Family Code, called the Moudawana. The 2004 Moudawana reform was considered one of the most important family law reforms for women’s rights in the MENA region. The legislation recognized women’s right to self-guardianship, child custody, and raised the legal age of marriage.
