Tunisia’s President Announces Draft Inheritance Equality Bill

Tunisia’s President Beji Caid Essebsi on Monday announced plans to submit a draft bill to parliament equalising inheritance rights between men and women. “I propose to make equal inheritance a law”, he said in a televised speech on Tunisia’s Women’s Day.
The text of the bill will be presented to lawmakers after the end of the parliamentary recess in October, he said.
The proposal to equalise inheritance is among the most hotly debated of a raft of proposed social reforms, guided by a commission the president set up a year ago.The commission suggested inheritance should by default be shared equally among male and female heirs.Similar to many Muslim-majority countries, Tunisian law currently stipulates that male heirs should receive double the assets given to females of the same level of kinship.

@Alkali: We are talking about gender equality in inheritance . I think it should be a welcome idea

Mohammed Alkali Abdullahi

Not at all. I'm sorry to say even you can't accept any amendment contrary to your religion.

@Alkali: That is why we are living in a dynamic world. There should be room to adjust from old believes. Thanks
