Emancipation of Tunisian women
This stamp celebrates the Personal Status Code (CSP), promulgated on August 13, 1956 under the leadership of Habib Bourguiba, shortly after the independence of Tunisia.
This revolutionary piece of legislation marked a turning point in the Arab world by granting women fundamental rights, including:
The abolition of polygamy.
The establishment of judicial divorce (putting an end to unilateral repudiation).
The requirement of mutual consent for marriage.
It is considered one of the pillars of Tunisian modernity, placing the country at the forefront of women's rights in the region.
