Before referring the draft of the Law Regulating the Personal Status to the People’s Assembly, President Hosni Mubarak held a meeting to ensure that the rules of Islamic Shari’a canonical were met in the draft. In the deliberations of the Azhar on the new draft there were disagreements, however, on some articles present in the draft, including Al-Khul’a, a wife’s traveling without the permission of her husband, and arbitration. The disagreements were settled before presenting the draft in its last form to the president, and in a way that agrees with the rules of Islamic Shari’a.
