Description
This stamp illustrates Arwa the Kairouanaise, famous for having imposed the "Kairouan contract" on the caliph Al-Mansur, prohibiting polygamy in his marriage certificate in the 8th century. The illustration presents her in front of the ramparts and domes of Kairouan, holding a parchment which symbolizes legal intelligence and the avant-garde of women's rights in Tunisia. This program highlights the historical influence of Kairouan as a center of knowledge and the pioneering role of Tunisian women in the defense of their dignity and their social status.
