Twenty family judges and five prosecutors attended the roundtable. Each day focused on a core theme related to the Moudawana, the revised Family Code, which is based on international standards regarding non-discrimination and women's human rights. These themes were: the act of marriage (legal conditions for marriage); married life (the rights and duties of spouses); mediation (alternative dispute resolution); and the dissolution of marriage (divorce). Four regional trainings will take place in the upcoming months.
