  Waly: Guardian

  In Algeria

  According to the Algerian family code of 1984, the marriage is contracted by the consent of the intending spouses, the presence of marriage guardian (wali) and two witnesses and the provision of a dowry. The tutor is usually the father. It can not prevent the person under his guardianship to marry if she so desires and if it is beneficial. It is forbidden to compel the marriage of minors under his tutelage even he can not marry without his consent.

  The revised Family Code made in 2005 to revise those provisions, women no longer need the consent of a guardian to marry. It requires only that a wali of his choice being present at the wedding. The wali acts as protector present when the woman entered the marriage itself .

  In Morocco

  Former Moroccan personal status code stipulated that the woman may not contract marriage itself, it must necessarily pass through a man (wali), whom she was instructed to marry. The matrimonial stakes were not freely chosen by the bride, the marriage guardian is the closest male relative of the bride. The old code of personal status and inheritance, in Article 11, quoted in order of priority. However, the same code states that no woman to marry without the assistance of a guardian, the guardian has no authority to refuse to marry a woman or, conversely, to compel, and that it is mandated for a specific act and its role should be limited to serving as an intermediary to convey the grantor's consent to marriage.

  The new code of personal status cancel these arrangements, the presence of the wali becomes not only necessary for a minority of both spouses.
