"Turkish Law Recognizes Women, Men as Equals

(WOMENSENEWS)–On the first day of the year, Turkey’s civil code recognized women as equal to men, the result of parliamentary revisions that have made family law in this predominately Muslim country among the most equitable in the world. Turkey is the world’s most secular Muslim nation, even forbidding women to wear the traditional head scarf in government offices and on campus."
