Family code practical guide to allow good implementation of law
Morocco, Politics, 5/5/2004

The practical guide draft submitted on Saturday by chairman of the drafting committee, M'Hamed Boucetta, to King Mohammed VI who approved it, was drafted in accordance with the royal instructions issued last October 10 and with the royal letter sent to the justice minister, and it is designed to ensure a good implementation of the new family code.

The code guide, comprising all the germane legislative and regulatory arsenal, will be distributed to all jurisdictions nationwide, especially the newly-created family courts and justice auxiliary officers as well as Moroccan citizens. The aim of this wide dissemination is to ensure broad circulation in public opinion of the legal and regulatory standards related to the new family code and deepen awareness on rights and duties implied by the new legislation.

The sovereign, who praised the work conducted by the commission members and chairman, has underscored his keenness that all measures are taken to ensure an optimum implementation of the law, which is a major text in the construction of a democratic society that is faithful to its civilization and identity while remaining open to modernity, through clear-sighted Ijtihad (jurisprudence) and drawing inspiration from the Islamic values of justice, equality, equity and social justice as bases for united and coherent families.

The family code practical guide was submitted on Saturday to King Mohammed VI at the end of the religious service held to mark Aid Al-Mawlid (Prophet's birthday).
