Disobedient: A law as old as my grandfather cannot be taken seriously

The title of the 2015 KAFA Campaign on the occasion of the 16 Days Against Violence Against Women, “A law as old as my grandfather cannot be taken seriously” is a reminder that it is unacceptable that personal status laws, most of which were devised more than half a century ago, stay as they are, with their purely patriarchal, mysogynist and backward character, and that it is unacceptable not to have a unified personal law that is civil, fair and ensures equality between the two partners.
