UAE will soon have women judges:
report
January 6. 2008 - (Middle East Times) DUBAI (AFP) Women in the
United Arab Emirates will soon be allowed to become judges, breaking
a male monopoly over the profession in the conservative monarchy,
the justice minister was quoted as saying on Sunday.
Women are currently being trained at the Judicial Institute to become
judges and prosecutors across the UAE once the law is amended, the
English daily Gulf News reported, quoting minister Mohammad bin
Nakhira al-Dhaheri.
"At present the law states that only a Muslim man is entitled
to assume the position of a judge," he said, without specifying
when the law will be changed.
The proposed law, which should cover the judiciary in the seven-member
federation, would make the UAE the second Gulf country after Bahrain
to allow women to become judges.
Women hold nine seats in the 40-member Federal National Council,
with eight appointed by the UAE president to join the half-elected
advisory body.
