congratulations for their new marriage code

its "Shariat Nikahnama" released on Sunday, March 16, 2008, has come up with a
host of measures that ensures that Muslim women get their right. Not only does
it recognise the right of women to seek divorce (khhula) and separation, it
ensures financial settlement with an eye to the welfare of the woman and her
children, advises registration of marriages and forbids forceful marriages.
