تونس کے عائلی قوانین ــــــــــ ایک تجزیاتی مطالعہ

Abstract

Tunisia is rightly considered one of the most progressive Arab countries. After marching out from colonial period, a personal law was implemented on 3^rd. August 1956. Since the promulgation of this law, Tunisia expedites its journey to modernism. The article 18 of this law prohibits polygamy and offenders may be subject to a prison sentence of one year and a fine of two hundred and forty thousand franc. Under the code 30 and 31 of this law, oral pronouncement of Talaq is prohibited. Only court can grant a divorce on the basis of: (a) mutual consent of both parties(b) the request of one party without specific grounds(c) abuse or injury. Moreover, in 2017, the Muslim woman was allowed to marry a non-Muslim. Recently, on 10 March 2018 Hundreds of women took to the streets in the Tunisian capital to demand equal inheritance rights as men. In this progressive country, these and many other laws keep a clear contradiction to Quran and Sunnah.
