women and children, such as the rights of custody, visitation and the ability to take the child being cared of out of the country, among other issues which were the cause of the suffering of many women and children in particular. However the NCHR believes that this law falls short in some points, such as: 1. Article (10/B), grants the judge, with the consent of the Chief Islamic Judge, the right to allow the marriage of girls aged 15 years old, pursuant to special instructions issued by the Chief Islamic Judge Department. In this connection, the Center affirms the need to bring domestic civil status- related legislations in conformity with the international standards and the Kingdom’s obligations in this regard as well as to limit the exceptions. 2. Article (61/B) retains the idea that it is not allowed for the husband to withdraw his consent for the work of his wife, unless there is a legitimate justification that does not negatively affect the wife. JNCHR deems necessary to repeal this Article in order to preserve the rights of women and increase women's participation in the labor market. With regard to the nationality law, Article (9) of Nationality Law No. 6 for the year 1954 stipulates that “the children of a Jordanian are Jordanians wherever they are born”. In accordance with the recognized principles of interpretation of laws, this should be construed to imply that the children of a female Jordanian are Jordanian too. On the basis of the implication of the operative text “the children of a Jordanian are Jordanians”; the word "Jordanians" refers to both genders without discrimination between them. The Center previously recommended in its annual reports to lift the reservation on article (9/2). In this connection, it worth mentioning that the NCHR repeated recommendations contributed in the issuance of the Jordanian Council of Ministers decision No. 6415 dated 11.9.2014 that includes the approval to grant children of Jordanian women and non-Jordanian fathers a number of privilege which 3includes services such as primary and secondary education, health care, work, own property and invest in Jordan and obtain identification cards, and the allocation of quota for them in the public universities . The Cabinet issued the instructions in implementation of the above mentioned decision with a set of conditions, and stressed on the competent departments and institutions to ensure that those instructions are implemented. Violence against women, including domestic violence (arts. 2-3, 7 and 26) The measures taken to protect women from violence consist of providing legal protection and awareness-raising efforts and initiatives. The government, the Center and CSOs exert extensive efforts in this regards by implementing awareness-raising programs to protect women from violence that target different categories of the society, yet there still remains a compelling need to increase education programs to both genders, especially in remote and underserved areas, in schools, universities and shelters for victims of violence. in this regards, it is to be recalled, that the Center has implemented, over the last five years, wide awareness raising programs in all governorates in collaboration with Care International targeting the youth categories (males and females), with a view to enhance awareness of the risks of violence against women and girls, where hundreds of people, of various age groups and professions, benefited from these programs. 3 The government granted children of Jordanian women married to non-Jordanian a package of privileges (Mazaya) with respect to education, health, work, own property, investment and obtaining a driver’s license, provided that has been lived permanently in Jordan for at least five years. These privileges also included the issuance of special identification cards by the Civil Status and Passports Department (CSPD) within the first 6 months on which the privileges were initiated. However, the application of these privileges still f ace constraints, as public and private quarters do not fully implement them or are reluctant to do so. 10
