The head of the Moroccan government, Aziz Akhannouch on Saturday, received the members of the body in charge of revising the Family Code.

They presented him with their proposals to submit them to the High Appreciation of King Mohammed VI.

In a statement to the press at the end of the meeting, Akhannouch said he had received the members, having completed their missions within the deadlines set out in the letter sent by the King.

He added that the body's rotating coordinator had presented him with a report on proposed amendments to the Family Code, for submission to the King.

The body has adopted a broadly participatory approach, by holding hearing sessions with various players from civil society organisations working in the fields of women, children and human rights, and political parties, trade unions, judges, activists, researchers, academics and ministerial institutions and departments, he stressed.

The body also received memorandums by e-mail, before examining the proposals arising from the broad participatory consultations, said Akhannouch.

On this occasion, the Head of Government reiterated his sincere thanks and gratitude to King Mohammed VI, who has adopted this broad participatory approach to find ways of enabling the Moroccan family to play its full role as a pillar of society.

The Head of Government said he was honoured to submit to the Sovereign's high appreciation the proposals made by the body in charge of revising the Family Code.
