Abstract

Conjugal relationships in those countries which experienced the so called ‘Arab Spring’ are the focus of this paper. At stake is the issue if the events which changed the political structure of those countries may affect the level of family law, and in particular of intraspousal relationships, which are deeply entrenched in the Islamic legal tradition. This model is marked from an asymmetry between husband and wife, in favor of the former. The issue is relevant not only as to the above mentioned countries, but also with regard to Europe. Since Europe has become multicultural, it has to deal with social and legal rules of diverse ethnic groups living on its territory which are different from (or even at odds with) the principles lying at the basis of the laws enacted from European countries.

El artículo mira a la primavera árabe desde la perspectiva de las relaciones conyugales en la tradición islámica. A colación de los cambios recientes que se han producido en algunos países de la zona del Maghreb, nos preguntamos si la evolución de los regímenes políticos en un sentido democrático puede traer consigo procesos de reforma del derecho de familia que favorezcan la asunción de la lógica de la igualdad en las relaciones entre cónyuges. El modelo islámico de familia parece caracterizarse de una nítida asimetría de derechos en favor del marido. El análisis de la cuestión tiene un doble reverso: no sólo tiene una relevancia interna en los mencionando países, sino también significativa para una Europa cada día más multicultural, y llamada a enfrentarse a las reivindicaciones y problemas de comunidades con prácticas sociales y reglas jurídicas profundamente distintas a las vigentes en los Estados miembros de la Unión.
