There are constitutional provisions that affirm Jordanian citizens’ basic rights to work and there is nothing in Islam that forbids women from doing so.[18] The Constitution states, "Work is the right of all citizens," "Jobs are based on capability," and "All Jordanians are equal before the law.[19] There will be no discrimination between Jordanians regarding rights and duties based on race, language or religion." [19] The Labor Laws clarify the Constitution further: "By Jordanians are meant both men and women." [19] The Labor Code defines a worker/laborer/employee as “each person, male or female, who performs a job in return for wages.”
