Cote d'Ivoire: Côte d'Ivoire Marriage Reform a Step for Women

press release

A new marriage law in Côte d'Ivoire could be a step toward women having the same rights as their husbands over marital property. It's part of a larger government plan to make men and women equal in marriages and when it comes to inheritance.

The bill, which is on the verge of being passed, will represent a standard for other African countries to meet as it will provide equal rights to men and women when it comes to owning and managing property.
