Controversy over amending some articles of the Moroccan Family Code, which is equivalent to the personal status law in other countries, has returned to the fore. Moroccan platforms have witnessed different opinions and comments on this issue.

Rumors circulated that the amendment would include a provision criminalizing polygamy, which was submitted as a proposal by Moroccan women's associations to the Ministry of Justice.

On the other hand, the activist in the charitable field, Elias Al-Khraisi, known as "Sheikh Saar", put forward a call through a closed group on Facebook calling not to marry Moroccan female employees, claiming that they are preoccupied with the job and their duties as wives, mothers and housewives.

In a few days, thousands joined the group, which faced a major attack at the same time, and others launched counter groups until it was deleted, and its owner said that he devoted himself to charitable work, but the controversy did not end.

Activists also published opinions contrary to Sheikh Saar's call, and affirmed that women have the right to work in all fields, and that no one has the right to incite against them.

And the episode (1/1/2023) of the “Shabakat” program monitored the controversy on Moroccan platforms, where Sarah Tia considered the hadith to be among what she called the sensitivity of males against female employees, so she wrote, “As we thought (I think) that the sensitivity of some males towards the female employee is her availability (obtaining) He was denied a job, fearing that women would sweep into the labor market and that they would have more job opportunities than men.”

While Najia Et demanded respect for the working woman because she is a mother, a doctor and a teacher, she said, "Know that the employee you are attacking may be your mother or your sister. Make sure that she is on her hands.

As for Monem Ziyad, he affirmed that every person has complete freedom from who gets married, so he tweeted, "Marriage is the choices of each individual. Marriage or non-marriage is not (not) a collective matter, and therefore it does not make sense to run a group and call it "Moroccans against marriage to female employees." I want you to get married. Is there a woman who is (not) an employee of your job, what do we have?

Mahgoub Simah left the matter of women's work to the understanding between the spouses, so he wrote, "It is not (not) a shame for a woman to serve, and there is no shame for her to sit in a house to raise her children. The important thing is that the spouses agree on all cases without her sitting or going out to work causing the corruption of the family."

Nabil Al-Tamimi Al-Shabani showed his anger at Sheikh Saar’s speech, and asked him to represent himself in the speech, so he said, “Speak for yourself. My mother worked for 40 years, raised 5 children on her own, all of them have university degrees, all of them work, and not one of them has been plagued by neither alcohol nor smoking nor gambling.” ".

According to the World Bank, the percentage of working women is 21% of the total labor force in Morocco in 2018.
