Abdellatif Ouahbi said on November 2, 2026, that he hopes the revised Family Code will reach Parliament within one or two months. The justice minister said a final decision is still awaited.

During oral questions in the House of Representatives, he also argued that the figure of roughly 154,000 concerns divorce applications and should not be equated with the same number of completed separations.

The minister defended women’s right to seek divorce and discussed specialized family mediation. His hoped-for timetable is neither a fixed submission date nor evidence that the reform has been adopted.
