Thank you.
The 2006 act was considered as major progress when it introduced the notion of marital rape, for example, which previously absolutely did not exist and now makes it possible to prosecute people for a number of types of sexual violence, such as sexual slavery and forced marriage. The 2006 act represents progress. The problem is that it is not accompanied, in the country's legislation, by a revision or amendment of discriminatory statutory provisions that still exist, particularly in the Family Code and in the Labour Code.
For example, married women are currently considered minors, whereas single women are considered adults. They may decide on how to manage their property and freely sign contracts. A married woman does not have the opportunity to manage household property if her husband does not give her permission to do so. A married woman cannot sign a contract of employment if her husband does not give her permission to do so. Discrimination still persists in that same national legislation. It's very frustrating because the Constitution clearly states the rule of equality between men and women. It's constitutional.
