Women protest against Bahrain's proposed family law

Women protest against Bahrain's proposed family law near a billboard promoting it on Sunday in Manama.

Hundreds marched in separate protests as the campaign led by Shiite clerics continues to prevent the law from being passed by Parliament.

They demanded the adoption instead of a draft put forward by the Shiite Olama Islamic Council.

The proposed law is supported by women's rights activists that see it as a guarantor of fair treatment in court as it governs domestic cases such as child custody, inheritance and divorce.
