Women, Business and the Law (WBL): Marriage Topic

The Marriage topic measures constraints related to marriage and divorce and also examines whether family laws in the economy guarantee equal status for spouses and prohibit obedience clauses. It further assesses whether institutional measures—such as specialized family courts, legal aid, or fast-track dispute procedures—facilitate enforcement. The expert perception dimension assesses the extent to which legal constraints related to marriage and divorce are enforced in practice.
