Abstract
In the mid 1970s, a film, Uridu Hallan (I Want a Solution), drew attention to the plight of women applying for divorce under Egyptian law. Three decades later, Egyptian women are the first in the Middle East to have gained the right to unilateral divorce through a procedure called khul'. Cartoons and two films now depict khul' as a law designed mainly for immoral westernized Egyptian women from the upper classes. |
