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.

    The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed new vulnerabilities in social, infrastructure, and governance systems. In the first months of the pandemic, there was a genuine concern about the capacity of the Global South to contain the spread of the virus. African cities were particularly vulnerable, with some experts1, including the head of WHO2, predicting a catastrophe for the continent. Despite the structural and chronic challenges that African cities face, including informality, poverty, a ...

    This paper provides a preliminary assessment of COVID-19’s impact on Africa, focusing on the sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries, based on information available as of October 2020. We first identify the two key long-term issues of the SSA countries before the crisis: resource dependency and slow productivity growth. COVID-19 has hit SSA countries hard, causing human and economic destruction and wiping out economic progress from the last decade. Instead of growing at 2.9% in 2020, as ...

    While the economic recovery around the world remains uneven, fragile, and unbalanced across sectors, financial markets are generally doing very well, thanks! In the United States, only half of the unemployment caused by the pandemic last year has been reversed, while stock markets continued to boom. Of course, this largely reflected the extraordinary support given by monetary authorities since March last year. As in the period after the 2007-08 global financial crisis, voices have ...

However, numerous obstacles could delay and dilute the impact of the new administration. President Joe Biden has assembled a strong and highly exp ...
