Tunisia: Women now allowed to marry non-Muslim men
The justice ministry came to the conclusion that the 1973 legislation went against articles 201 and 41 of the Tunisian Constitution and international agreements signed by Tunisia and thus has changed the law for the better. Tunisian women will now be allowed to marry men regardless of their religion.

Tunisia: People protest for the right not to fast during Ramadan
![]() |
| A protester in Tunis openly smokes a cigarette and holds a placard reading in French "Why does it bother you if you fast and I eat?" during Ramadan |
Dozens of Tunisians demonstrated Sunday to demand the right to eat and drink in public during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan and to protest against non-fasters being arrested. There is no law against eating or drinking in public during Ramadan, but every year the issue comes to the fore in the North African country. Tunisia's constitution guarantees "freedom of belief and conscience", but the state is also the "guardian of religion". Following a call by the "Mouch Bessif" (Arabic for "Not against our will") group, protesters in central Tunis shouted that "Individual freedom is guaranteed by the constitution!" One man openly smoking a cigarette -- this is also deemed unacceptable during Ramadan daylight hours -- held a placard in French that asked: "Why does it bother you if you fast and I eat?" Demonstrators also protested against the arrest of people who were not fasting. At the beginning of June, four men were sentenced to a month in jail for "public indecency" after eating outside during daylight. demonstrator Karim Chair told AFP.
"We're protesting about lawsuits against non-fasters... Whoever wants to fast can fast, but whoever doesn't want to shouldn't have to."

2 Michigan brothers who converted from Christianity to Islam were arrested in Tunisia as members of a terrorist organization
TUNIS, Tunisia (NBC) — Two American brothers have been arrested in Tunisia on suspicion of belonging to a terrorist organization, two local sources told NBC News.
A senior police official said the brothers were both aged in their 30s and originally from Michigan. A source in the governor's office also confirmed the arrests.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, the police source said one of the men was carrying a U.S. passport that identified him as Patrick Alan Lawwill. NBC News has seen a photocopy of the passport, which was apparently issued in July 2015 and lists Lawwill's place of birth as Michigan.
Police were not able to provide a copy of the second suspect's documents.
A State Department official said it was aware of reports the pair had been arrested "on suspicion of terrorist activities" but declined to comment further because of "privacy considerations."
The brothers were arrested in the northwestern city of Jendouba on Tuesday, according to the local police source.
The pair had recently converted from Christianity to Islam and one of them was married to a Tunisian woman who was also arrested, the source said.
The brothers, who both wore beards and traditional clothing, were reported to authorities by locals who said they were "behaving suspiciously," the source added.
Another official in the local governor's office, also speaking anonymously, told NBC News that the pair came to study in the University of Jendouba two weeks ago.
Officials who raided the encampment where they were staying found material relating to hardline Islamic law and jihad, according to the governor's office source.
They did not find any plans to make explosives, that source added.
