In Tunisia, it is now law: political parties must field just as many women as men in the upcoming elections for the constituent assembly, 50-50. Period. An Islamic political party supported that motion to become law. In fact, Tunisia is the only Islamic country in which polygamy is against the law. Hopefully other countries around the world, especially those in Africa and the Middle East, would learn from this exquisite example of the promotion of women's rights in society.
