[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tigerlily: [QB] I found this interesting article on the net which is already five years old. * Saturday, 4 November, 2000, 22:43 GMT Egyptian wives win travel rights By Caroline Hawley in Egypt The High Court in Egypt has ruled that an Interior Ministry decree that allows men to prevent their wives from travelling is unconstitutional. The ruling has been welcomed by Mervat Tellawi, who heads Egypt's high-powered Women's Council set up earlier this year. She said it was a step in the right direction for equality. Women activists have been fighting for the right to travel freely for several years. 'Victory' Now Egypt's constitutional court has ruled in their favour, in a case brought by an individual woman who challenged her husband's right to stop her leaving the country. First divorce rights, then travel A prominent lawyer who has campaigned for legal improvements for women, Mona Zulficar, said the ruling was a great victory. She said the Interior Ministry decree had frequently been used abusively against women. Earlier this year Egypt's male-dominated parliament passed new legislation making it easier for women to divorce. But it baulked at allowing women the right to travel abroad. ........ * [/QB][/QUOTE]
