The proposal, backed by 105 out of 154 MPs, seeks to amend the law governing notaries by allowing them to register consensual divorces without the need for court proceedings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1129\" data-end=\"1512\">The Women\u2019s Union condemned the parliamentary proposal, which also includes amnesty for those failing to pay alimony and revisions to Article 32 of the Personal Status Code (on consensual divorce). The Union warned that such changes would undermine Tunisian women\u2019s legislative achievements and constitutional rights, which have made Tunisia a model for women&#8217;s rights in the region.<\/p>\n<article class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full\" dir=\"auto\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-8\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\">\n<div class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto py-5 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @[37rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @[72rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\">\n<div class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:32rem] @[34rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @[64rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto flex max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 text-base gap-4 md:gap-5 lg:gap-6 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<div class=\"group\/conversation-turn relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\">\n<div class=\"relative flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\">\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"e6213c0d-967a-4813-9428-a3ff49240200\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-4o\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light\">\n<h3 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"130\">Tunisian Women\u2019s Union and Bar Association Warn of Dangerous Divorce Law Threatening Family and Legal Integrity<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex justify-start\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"absolute\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center\">In a Saturday statement, the Union stressed that the proposals threaten family cohesion and children\u2019s welfare. It criticized the idea of treating marriage as a mere contract easily dissolved through a notarized document\u2014comparing it to the simplistic &#8220;you are divorced&#8221; formula.

It emphasized the need for court oversight to ensure justice and social peace.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17289\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17289\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17289 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Sans-6.jpg\" alt=\"Tunisian Lawyers and Women\u2019s Union Reject Controversial Divorce Law Proposal\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Sans-6.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Sans-6-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Sans-6-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17289\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tunisian Women\u2019s Union and Bar Association Warn of Dangerous Divorce Law Threatening Family and Legal Integrity<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<article class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full\" dir=\"auto\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-8\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\">\n<div class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto py-5 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @[37rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @[72rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\">\n<div class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:32rem] @[34rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @[64rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto flex max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 text-base gap-4 md:gap-5 lg:gap-6 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<div class=\"group\/conversation-turn relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\">\n<div class=\"relative flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\">\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"e6213c0d-967a-4813-9428-a3ff49240200\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-4o\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2176\" data-end=\"2512\">The National Bar Association of Tunisia echoed this rejection, calling the proposal \u201clegal nonsense\u201d and a threat to constitutional rights, social peace, and national security.
