Tunisian president Beji Caid Essebsi finally gave women the opportunity "to choose one's spouse". Tunisia being a predominantly muslim country did not allow women to marry men who were not muslim. However, allowed men to marry women who were not muslim. This is a huge step for a majority muslim country because it's the first country to give women the freedom marry whomever they please. Tunisia is now the most progressive Arab country in regards to women's rights.
