President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi touched on the divorce documentation law, saying: “I spoke regarding this issue before and said we want to document divorce from 4 or 5 years ago, and it is important that we do it now, so why? For speech, and there remains control over behavior, and in the end, when I make a law that divorce is the one that is documented, and if there is a sin in it, who will remove the guilt, Your Excellency the Counselor?
The president added during the Egyptian women’s celebration: “The issue is being discussed in a parliament of all people, women, men, youth and all, but in the end there is more harm and more harm.
The president continued: “We do a lot of things, and whatever the costs of marriage are, and the number that will be taken is not important, but far-sighted is strong, why? And pay the amount, okay, if he didn’t come to an Indian to the people?… This is the idea.
The president continued: “We, as a society and a state, preserve the strength and durability of its small brick. By the way, I am not mocking you or doing anything on hobbies like this.. At the beginning of applying any law to what settles in the conscience of society, absorbs and accepts it, as was the documentation of marriage. Well, in the past, it was not. There is a complete documentation of marriage. Today, the document is the word that is relied upon even in the courts, and the measure is aimed at protecting the safety of society and preserving people’s rights. When we come to talk regarding 300 thousand fatwas .. This will not happen once more. I count on you, well, any words you will say once more will not count, for sure there will be problems that we will know following that, and I say that the law contains more than 140 articles.
The president added: I reassure you regarding this issue because I hear many calls and pleas, afraid that the law will not be fair to the family and the child, and the mother, the aunt, or the grandmother? We will try to be balanced, as I said so.
In conclusion, President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi’s remarks on the divorce documentation law have sparked much debate and discussion. While some see it as a necessary step towards accountability and protection of rights, others question its potential impact on families and children. As with any new law, only time will tell how it will be implemented and the extent of its impact. Ultimately, the hope is that it will serve the greater good of society and promote stability in individuals and families alike.
