The Arab Observatory for Human Rights (AOHR) commended the approval by the Saudi Cabinet of the “personal status system”, and affirmed that this system represents a paradigm shift, in line with the efforts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to protect human rights, empower women and stabilize the family which is the foundation of society.
The AOHR has paid tribute to the efforts of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman Bin Abdulaziz and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, to establish human rights norms and to provide for the well-being of the Saudi people and the stability of their social fabric.
The AOHR emphasized that the introduction of a personal status system in the KSA reflects the interest and commitment of the Saudi leadership to the development and reform approach, taking into account the latest legal guidelines and recent international judicial practices; and noted that the personal status system represents a major qualitative leap in the efforts to safeguard and protect human rights, the stability of the family, the empowerment of women and the promotion of rights in the KSA.
