Egypt's family law and paternal rights
The article highlights the rise in divorce rates in Egypt during 2024, with the country recording 273,892 divorce cases, an increase of 3.1% compared to 2023. This reflects growing challenges to family stability. It focuses on the story of Mohamed Hassan Sawalem, who lost his wife and faced legal and social disputes with his children's families. He hopes that the new Family Law bill will give him greater chances of custody, especially since the law proposes prioritizing the father in custody arrangements after the mother and designating the right of "hosting" for fathers. This illustrates the ongoing conflict between legal reforms, the rights of children and mothers, amid debates over custody issues and family rights in Egypt.
