During the No Religious Arbitration debate, we came across
some women wishing to deal deal with family matters in
accordance with the traditions of their faith. Realizing the
need, CCMW published this kit which allows women to develop
a marriage contract in keeping with Muslim and Canadian
family laws. Rooted in traditional Muslim laws, the sample
contract incorporates rights guaranteed to women under
Canadian laws, & suggests ways to increase equality between
husband and wife.
The kit is the result of 6 years of deliberation. It has
been researched & developed by Professor Lynda Clarke, a
respected Islamic scholar. We also drew upon the expertise
of Pam Cross, a feminist lawyer who has worked on women's
equality issues for many years.
The kit is has three elements:
- Marriage Certificate (English,
Français)
- Sample Marriage Contract (English,
Français)
- Booklet (English,
Français)
The kit is available in English and French
