Le Code de la famille marocain (Moudawana) : réalités et perspectives de réformes
March 6, 2024

Le Code de la famille, la Moudawana, apparaissait à son adoption par le Parlement, en 2004, comme étant le début d’une révolution juridique et sociale qui consacre l’égalité homme-femme et améliore le droit des femmes au sein de la cellule familiale. Ayant notamment permis d’ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives en ce qui concerne la condition de la femme marocaine, le Code de la famille a constitué une avancée sociale. Cependant, vingt ans après sa promulgation, force est de constater que le texte de 2004 accuse de nombreuses limites dans la consécration de droits pleins et entiers, et parait de plus en plus inadéquat avec les transformations de la société marocaine. C’est suite à ce constat que le Roi Mohammed VI a appelé les institutions de représentation démocratique à procéder à une refonte globale du Code de la famille, en vue de parvenir à la codification d’un nouveau texte compatible avec la transition sociétale qui caractérise le Maroc contemporain. Dans le cadre de ce Research Paper, nous nous attellerons à scruter les dysfonctionnements et les limites du régime familial en vigueur, en examinant respectivement la lente progression vers l’égalité dans les rapports familiaux, avec un focus sur les droits interpersonnels, matrimoniaux et patrimoniaux ; les insuffisances du régime juridique de la protection des enfants et les problématiques inhérentes à l’établissement de la filiation ; pour ensuite dégager des perspectives de réformes.

    COVID-19 has ravaged nearly every country in the world, with the globalization of recent decades intensifying its spread. As of mid-2021, the world had spent $16.5 trillion—18% of global GDP—to fight the disease. And that amount does not even include the most important losses such as deaths, mental health effects, restrictions on human freedom, and other nonmonetary suffering. Nearly 90% of this spending was by developed economies, with the rest by emerging market and developing eco ...

    His message was one of reassurance, just as a great leader has to react in a crisis. The concerns about Covid 19 was nothing but “a frenzy and psychosis”. The President knew the secret to defeat the virus: vodka, sauna, tractor. Didn’t a US president named Donald Trump suggest  that toilet cleaning disinfectants chase the virus out of infected lungs on national television? (New York Times, April 24, 2020) That was Trump-speak, sure, but the man who uttered the tractor/vodka/nonsense ...
