On 19 October 2021, Marie Jeanne d’Arc MASY GOULAMALY, Member of Parliament of Madagascar elected in the District of Tsihombe, President of the Gender and Development Commission tabled a proposal to amend this article 317 in the National Assembly. Without cancelling it, the bill suggests a relaxation for cases specified in articles 317 Bis and 317 Ter*.

The bill, registered under the number PPL 004-2021/PL, was not included in the agenda of the parliamentary session due to an anti-democratic procedural defect.

Café Philo “Tokatrano fihafiana? Divorce/Separation

Free – Mille Feuilles – Librairie Café

  • Lazaina fa fihafiana ny tokatrano. Hatraiza no tokon’ny ho fetran’izany. Maro ireo olona (na lahy na vavy) mijaly sy ampijaliana ao anatin’izany tokatrano izany nefa tsy sahy miteny, mitraotra, misaraka. Maro ny mety ho anton’izany. Tokatrano fihafiana? Hatraina? Rahoviana no tokony hisintaka, hisaraka? Nahoana no tokony anaovana izany? Ahoana no anaovana izany?
  • Malagasy society imposes that married life/family life is a burden that must be borne. Only, how far should it stop. There are many men and women who suffer, who are made to suffer but who do not dare to speak out, to rebel, to leave. There are many reasons for this. Is life as a couple a burden? To what extent? When to leave? Why leave? How to leave
