Egypt’s cabinet has approved a new draft law on Wednesday, 22 April, that will regulate family matters for Christian citizens, in a move aimed at improving and unifying existing rules. Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly announced that the draft law will now be sent to parliament for discussion and approval. The law is part of a wider plan by the government to reform family-related legislation in the country.
