- في الحكم الصادر في القضية عدد 34179 المؤرخ 27 حزيران/يونيه 2000، قضت المحكمة الابتدائية لتونس، لدى نظرها في الدعوى الرامية إلى المصادقة على قرار ”طلاق“ مصري، برفض الطلب المذكور على أساس أن ”الطلاق في إطار الشريعة شكل تقليدي وديني لفسخ الزواج بمشيئة الزوج الانفرادية دون أي مراعاة لمصلحة الأسرة، ومن ثم فهو يتعارض مع النظام العام التونسي على نحو ما يتبين من المادة 6 من الدستور ومن المواد 1 و 2 و 7 ومن الفقرتين 1 و 2 من المادة 16 من الإعلان العالمي لحقوق الإنسان لعام 1948، وكذلك من المواد 1 و 2 و 16 (ج) من اتفاقية القضاء على جميع أشكال التمييز ضد المرأة، لعام 1979“؛
In a judgment rendered in case 34179 on 27 June 2000, the Court of First Instance of Tunis, ruling on a motion to enforce an Egyptian act of “repudiation”, rejected that motion on the grounds that “repudiation constitutes a traditional and religious form of dissolving a marriage based on the unilateral will of the husband, with no consideration of the interests of the family, and consequently it contradicts the Tunisian legal order as set forth in article 6 of the Constitution and articles 1, 2, 7 and 16 (§§1 and 2) of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Right, as well as articles 1, 2 and 16 (c) of the 1979 Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women”; In an order rendered in case 120 on 6 January 2004 the Court of Appeals of Tunis, ruling on an appeal filed by the Tunisian heirs of a Tunisian woman married in Switzerland to a Belgian citizen, challenging the judgment of first instance that upheld the husband's motion to annul the death certificate of his wife on the grounds that the certificate did not include his name among the heirs, rejected the appeal and confirmed the judgment of first instance, while dismissing the appellants' arguments to the effect that a marriage concluded in Switzerland would be null and void because the spouses were in one of the situations of impediment to marriage, namely the ban on marriage between a Muslim and non-Muslim and that hence the husband would have no grounds to be included in the list of heirs entitled to the deceased woman's succession.
