The book "Personal Status Laws in the Middle East and North Africa" is a comprehensive reference guide that covers personal status codes in nearly a dozen countries in the region, including Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, and Qatar. It provides a history of personal status law before and after the Arab Spring, with Tunisia making the most significant progress in women's rights.

Publisher: Cambridge University Press


The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the Middle East and North Africa, as well as for those interested in women's rights and family law, both in the MENA region and more broadly. It stands as the sole publication that provides comprehensive coverage of personal status codes in nearly a dozen countries. The book delves into Muslim family law in various Middle East and North African countries, including Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, and Qatar. While some of these countries were significantly impacted by the Arab Spring, others were not. Each chapter of the book offers a historical account of personal status law, both before and after the revolutionary period. Tunisia emerges as the country that has made the most significant progress in terms of political development and women's rights. A decade after the Arab Spring, evidence suggests that change has been slower to occur across the region.
