A mayor in Tunisia has caused controversy after calling for all marriage contracts between Muslim women and non-Muslim males to be annulled.

Fathi Laayouni, mayor of El Kram who stems from the Ennahda party, made the call in response to a 2017 order by President Beji Caid Essebsi for the government to withdraw laws – dating back to 1973 – which ban such marriages.
