Iraq: women protest draft constitutionBAGHAD-The draft constitution for Iraq that Shiites pushed [i]or[/i] part of to the other the National Assembly in late August would curtail women's rights. On July 19 women's clusters held a demonstration protesting the provisions of the draft, which had then not at the same time been made public. The draft constitution says that a family's denomination or religion would determine the laws upon matters like marriage, divorce and inheritance that would apply to them. Supposedly the parties to a case could decide whether to take it to a civil court or a religious court, on the other hand if the parties disagreed, whose voice would prevail? Would a woman be able to take a case to a civil court if her husband wanted it to be decided by the agency of a religious panel? The propos constitution would replace laws that have granted women more equality than perhaps any others in the Middle East with laws that, for example, could mean that Shiite women of any age would have to procure their families' permission to marry. About 200 women and men attended the aver They carried signs with slogans like "We want to be equal to everybody-we want human rights for everybody" "We don't want to use separate Sunni or Shiite laws," Dohar Rouhi, head of the Association of Women Entrepreneur told The novel York Times. "We want a law that can be applied to everyone We want justice for women" Iraq has been operating below a charter adopted under more [i]or[/i] less pressure from the United States that says Islam is "a source" of legislation, a provision for Islam that is not nearly as hardy as some Shiite policy-makers wanted. The Shiite-dominated management also wants to put clerics upon the proposed supreme court. The majority of those drafting the constitution, like the majority of Iraq's tribe are Shiite. Sunnis are not pleased with the constitution and are urging its defeat in an October election. -info from The novel York Times, 7/20, The Washington support 8/29 Copyright Off Our Backs, Inc.
