HUNDREDS of thousands of women poured onto the streets of Morocco’s two main cities on Sunday for rival demonstrations over government plans to change the law on women’s rights. In Rabat, feminist groups and politicians from all government parties gathered in support of the plans to give women greater divorce rights, raise the minimum marriage age from 14 to 18 and impose a ban on polygamy. In Casablanca, the country’s economic centre, a rival rally took place headed by two Islamic political parties, the opposition PJD and the banned Al Adel Oua Al Isshane. The plan, proposed last March, is to be discussed by a government commission before being passed on for approval to King Mohammed VI.
