Even though the Convention on the Elimination of All |
|
Forms of Discrimination Against Women is the first |
|
international document that guarantees all rights for |
|
women in all areas of life and ensures all effective |
|
means to eliminate discrimination against them, the |
|
latter has come with a set of positive and negative |
|
effects on the Arab Islamic family and the Algerian |
|
family. |
|
|
|
|
|
After Algeria ratified the CEDAW convention to eliminate |
|
all forms of discrimination againstwomen and uphold the |
|
principle of equalitybetweenwomen and men, the family |
|
legislator found itself amending numerous legal |
|
provisions in line with the principles of the Committee |
|
on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women. This |
|
resulted in granting mature women the right to conclude |
|
their marriage contracts themselves, making their consent |
|
in the marriage contract equal to that of men. |
|
Additionally, it imposed restrictions on men s right to |
|
polygamy as a safeguard for women while also bolstering |
|
their position in terminating marital relationships by |
|
granting them the right to seek divorce through khula and |
|
granting them guardianship rights. |
