As is known, that a law is undergoing a number of specific steps to pass, ratify and then to be published. But for the Shia personnel law, the case was to pass the feedback/review step and directly sent to the parliament.
One and a half year before when the draft committee on family law, included were university teachers, child and family court heads, civil society organizations with support of 
the Ministry of women affairs and ministry of justice, Independent Human Rights Commission, was informed about the Shia personnel Law that it has been included in the parliament agenda. Therefore the committee stopped their work on the family law and started for the assessment and observation of the Shia personnel draft law. This committee gone through all the legislation of the Islamic countries’ on Shia personnel status law and prepared a recommendation draft.
Afterwards the recommendation draft was submitted to the minister of Justice and other organizations but when it was noticed that no proper interest and pace is given to the draft recommendation, the team decided to meet Mr Karzai. They asked him not to ratify the law as some changes are recommendable in it. President asked the minister of justice, who was present there; about the law and he responded that he will give it a second look as it was a one year old draft. The draft committee kept an eye on the proceedings of the steps taken on Shia personnel Law and monitored the actions in this regard very minutely.
The idea developed to include the Shia members of the parliament in the process, Dr Samar talked with Mr. Mohaqiq, and the members of the committee met a number of times with the other members of the parliament too, but it was of no use. The target option was diverted towards the university professors in the Kabul University, where some re-known professors from QUM and MASHAD was invited from Iran and work was started on the draft law in a four day seminar held in Kabul. Their views were prepared and published, at the same time it was heard that draft law has been put forward for discussion session in the parliament. The committee then decided to meet with Mr Mohsini related to the draft law.
