NEWS & LETTERS, November 2004Women Word Wide
by Mary Jo Grey The Republican-controlled Michigan Senate has passed a
13-bill package requiring classes in premarital education or a 28-day waiting
period before people be issued a marriage license. Parties to a divorce would
have to take classes and fill out a questionnaire. Proposal 2 on the November
ballot defining marriage as between "one man and one woman" passed. It
turns the clock back on all domestic partnerships in the state. * * * Two Sudanese activists who called for an end to the
conflict in Darfur have been arrested. Buthayna Mohamed Ahmed--a member of the
Sudanese Women's Union--has not been charged, allowed medical treatment, or
given access to family or a lawyer. Information from Women's Human Rights Online Bulletin |
