Libyan culture places heavy importance on traditions and Islamic views. Marriages are typically arranged by parents without input from sons and daughters. Dating is frowned upon. Courtship involves families finding partners through social circles. Weddings are multi-day celebrations. Divorce is allowed but favors men, who can initiate it simply by repeating "I divorce you" three times. Women's rights have strengthened but domestic violence remains private due to social stigma. Modernization has increased dating and partner selection.

Book Title: The Emancipation of Women – An African Perspective
Author: Florence Abena Dolphyne
Chapter 1: Traditional Practices
Every human society has a body of beliefs that regulate the way people
behave and relate to each other in the society. Over the years, these beliefs and
modes of behaviour are modified to suit the changing circumstances of the society
concerned. African societies are no exception. What is different, however, is that
as a result of the contact with Western civilization and the uneven influence that
this civilization has had on African societies, one finds in every country a contrast
between a very Westernized society usually comprising the educated people in the
urban cent res and a traditional rural society whose beliefs and way 'of life often
show that they have hardly been touched by Western culture.
In this chapter, we will consider some aspects of African culture which have
a particular bearing on the issue of women's emancipation. These are customs,
traditions and beliefs which have, over the years, helped to keep women under
subjugation, and to make them feel generally inferior to men and incapable of
operating at the same level as men in society. These are: the institution of marriage
with its related issues of bride-wealth, child-marriage, polygamy, purdah,
widowhood and inheritance of property, high fertility and puberty rites with
specific reference to female circumcision.
Marriage
The institution of marriage is a very important one in all African societies. It
is primarily a union between two families, rather than between two individuals.
Traditionally, marriages are arranged between two families. When a young man
decides he wants a particular woman for his wife, he tells his parents about it, and
it then becomes the parents' responsibility and that of elders of the extended family
to ask for the woman's hand from her parents. Before this is done, the parents try to
find out all they can about the woman's family, whether there are any chronic or
hereditary illnesses such as mental disorders in the family, whether there are any
known criminals in the family, whether the women in the family are known to be
respectful and hardworking or not and so on. These are important matters that are
known to ensure the stability or otherwise of a marriage. Emotional attachment
between husband and wife was supposed to develop later, and therefore love
between a young man and a young woman was not in itself considered legitimate
grounds for marriage. If the young man's parents are not satisfied with what they
find out, they will tell their son that he should look for someone else, or suggest
somebody they approve of to him. In the same way, when a woman's family has
been approached with a proposal of marriage from the man's parents, they also
investigate the man's background and decide whether or not they would want their
daughter to marry into ...

Homosexuality is
considered a criminal
offence in Libya. Sexual
relations outside
8. Language:
Arabic - national language of Libya
English - most popular second language
and is regularly taught in school.
9. Courtship: Dating
Dating is frowned upon in the
traditional Libyan Society
given the conservative and
Islamic nature of the country.
Males and females rarely mix
socially and have less
contact with each other.
The parents usually would
arrange the marriages for
their children -- without their
sons and daughters even
meeting their future spouses
as well as having a say
10. Forced marriages are
forbidden by the law.
Dating is often not talked
about in Libya because it’s
frowned upon, it is the act
of marriage that has richer
information.
ex. If parents, forbid a
young woman from
marrying a man of her
choice, the law allows
the woman even when
she is a minor, to appeal
to the court to prevent
her parents from
marrying her off to
someone she doesn’t
want to be married to,
11. Courtship:

personal affair and a civil contract rather than
a religious act.
Parents find a mate for their children through

couple tends to take little part in the arrangements
* In most cases, couples have NOT met before their marriages are
arranged. Couples generally spend time together in the company of
their parents so that they know one another before the wedding
13. Courtship:
Finding a
wife/ husband
Groom’s dowry: US$10,000 in large cities.
*Accumulation of the requisite dowry may
be one reason that males tend to be
several years older than females at the time
14. Courtship: Finding
a wife/ husband
Women are inferior so the state gave more right to
women
to eradicate the this inequality.
1. Minimum age for marriage was set at sixteen for females and
at eighteen for males.
15. Courtship: Finding
a wife/ husband
2. Marriage by proxy has been forbidden, and a 1972 law
prescribes that a girl cannot be married against her will or
when she is under the age of sixteen.
*Should her father forbid her marriage to a man whom she has chosen for
herself, a girl who is a minor (under the age of twenty-one) may petition a
court for permission to proceed with her marriage.
16. Courtship: Finding
a wife/ husband
Islamic tradition:
husband: 4 wives (provided that he can treat them
equally)
wife: only 1 husband at a time
*Only 3% of Libya’s marriages is polygamous
18. Until recently, Libyan society held on to
conservative values on women, especially on
chastity and family honor. Women are regarded as the
embodiment of family’s honor and worth.
19. Thus, they must be modest, and their virginity is
regarded not just as woman’s property but also the
property of her family. To maintain a family’s honor,
female must be virgin before marriage and they
must be sexually loyal only to their husband after
marriage.
20. Although both the bride and the groom are
expected to be virgins on their wedding nights, Libyan
society is more concerned of female’s virginity than of
males. If it is discovered that the bride is no longer
a virgin on their wedding night, she and her family
are publicly scorned and the wedding is cancelled.
21. III. Process of
Marriage
Minimum age of marriage: 20 years
old, but a court can allow persons
younger than 20 to marry with the
consent of their guardian.
Libyan wedding:

- can last up to 3-5 days depending
on the financial status of the male.
- customary to have a large wedding
- family, friends and neighbors are
all invited, but it is not mandatory
to attend every night of the
wedding.
22. III. Process of
Marriage

not wearing any makeup unlike the other
women in the

The celebrants and guests

23. III. Process of
Marriage
SECOND DAY: The
bride gets a henna.
This day is called
nejma, meaning the

in which the bride’s

this part of the
tradition may be dying
24. III. Process of
Marriage
THIRD DAY: The
“Goufah”. The groom’s
family invites family and
friends to bring gifts to
the bride.
The bride usually wears
the white dress on this
day. This is also the
day of the rajala, or
men’s lunch, when they
get together and eat
25. FOURTH DAY: The

34. IV. Issues regarding
Marriage and Divorce
Recently, the view
regarding marriage and
dating has changed in the
Libyan society. Increased
uranization and educational
opportunities led to the
modernized society of Libya
now. Libyans now date
before marriage, and marries
omeone of their choice. This
continued transformation is
frowned upon by many
35. In terms of domestic
violence, rape, and other
forms of gender-based
violence inside and outside
the home, these matters are
considered private which
carry a great deal of shame
and are rarely discussed
publicly. A victim of rape risks
being prosecuted herself for
extramarital relations if she
presses charges and may
instead have to marry her
36. Spousal rape on the
other hand is not a
crime and is not
covered by the law. It
actually says in the
penal code that if a
man sees his wife
having unlawful sexual
relations, if he opts to
murder her, his
sentence will be
reduced rather than for
