"Mali women's rights bill blocked"

<snip>

...under the new law women are no longer required to obey their husbands, instead husbands and wives owe each other loyalty and protection.

Women get greater inheritance rights, and the minimum age for girls to marry in most circumstances is raised to 18.

...

Muslim groups have been protesting against the law, which gives greater rights to women, ever since parliament adopted it at the start of the month.

...

Muslim leaders have called the law the work of the devil and against Islam.

More than 90% of Mali's population is Muslim.
