A recent and new law in Morocco is the women's right. It is called 'Moudawana' passed by a majority for the members of the Moroccan parliaments. Women are granted more power.
This are some of the codes i have found doing research (Wikipedia) :
-Couples have to go to a secular court to obtain a divorce rather than just getting a letter of repudiation from a religious official. (See Islamic marital jurisprudence).
-The parent who keeps custody of the children also keeps the house.
-The legal age of marriage is 18 instead of 15.
-Sexual harassment is an offense punished by law.
-Polygamy, while still allowed, became more difficult under the new Mudawana in 2003.
I think that this kind of law/revolution is and will be very useful. It will establish a new kind of help meaning that women are able to communicate their knowledge and help to the world. Women will be able to contribute other than just take care of houses and be of a great help to improving the problems in the word and help find many more solutions. Who knows how much help women may be able to contribute like it is said "Two brains are better than one".
