Economic consequences of marriage, family relations and their dissolution 2013, para. 14
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
The Committee has consistently expressed concern that identity-based personal status laws and customs perpetuate discrimination against women and that the preservation of multiple legal systems is in itself discriminatory against women. The lack of individual choice relating to the application or observance of particular laws and customs exacerbates this discrimination.
