  • Le parti salafiste Al Nour s’oppose à un article sur l’égalité entre hommes et femmes dans la Constitution égyptienne - Ahram Online

    The Salafist Nour Party objects to an article in the draft constitution which defines equality between men and women. (...)
    However, Abdel-Maaboud said his party objected to the phrasing as it would open the door for a women’s quota in parliament, which it is against.
    “We cannot have a quota for every marginalised group,” he remarked.
    The party also believes women’s rights defined in the article should be restricted by Sharia law. Although Article Two of the constitution names the principles of Sharia as the main source of legislation, he said, Nour demands it is also added to Article 11 defining women’s rights so these rights are in accordance with Sharia law.
