Via Almaza
When I first read that the domestic violence law got approved without any amendments, I thought the parliament passed the draft-law including Kafa’s remarks without amending it, but as it turns out, they only voted on the original draft-law and not the crucial modifications requested by KAFA. One of the KAFA lawyer went as far as calling the law a “farce”.
This is definitely bad news as the law approved doesn’t incriminate marital rape and doesn’t protect the children or give women custody of her children. Having said that, I am not even sure we could call this a step in the right direction. What I know is that the MPs who signed on the draft-law with all the amendments have failed KAFA and the Lebanese women.
Shame.
