While there are many opposed to the inclusion in the draft of the new Personal Status law of the sections on Al-Khol’a [a wife’s right to a divorce in return for renouncing all her rights in the marriage], and a wife’s right to travel without her husband’s permission in certain circumstances, there are knowledgeable and respected voices who argue for their inclusion. Here the opinions of Dr. Mohammed Anwar Raslan, dean of the Faculty of Law at Cairo University, and those of Dr. Abdel Mo’ti Bayoumi, dean of the Faculty of Islamic Theology at Al-Azhar University are given.
