Yes, of course. We expected that once the Ministry of Justice was satisfied that everything that needed to be done to have the Shia personal law had been done and it met all the requirements of the constitution and the convention on the rights of women, then they would draft the final text and that it would go to Parliament. There would be an open, public debate and the debate would take place in society, as we do here when a law is tabled. If people want to get involved and appear in front of committees, they can do so. That never happened.
