The revolution ended unilateral repudiation and instituted arbitration for Algerian divorce

Evidence

The husband’s repudiation of his wife that could be immediately proclaimed at any time and that reflected the fragility of the conjugal bond is no longer automatically legalized. The husband must explain his reasons for wanting a divorce. There are attempts at reconciliation. In any case, the final decision rests with the local officer. The family emerges strengthened from this ordeal in which colonialism has resorted to every means to break the people’s will. In the midst of the gravest dangers the Algerian adopts modern forms of existence and confers on the human person his maximum independence. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 384 (#corroborates, via linked claim)

What could formerly be defined as mere cohabitation today includes a multiplicity of points of communication. First and foremost is the fact of incurring dangers together, of turning over in the same bed, each on his own side, each with his fragment of a secret. It is also the consciousness of collaborating in the immense work of destroying the world of oppression. The couple is no longer shut in upon itself. It no longer finds its end in itself. It is no longer the result of the natural instinct of perpetuation of the species, nor the institutionalized means of satisfying one’s sexuality. The couple becomes the basic cell of the commonwealth, the fertile nucleus of the nation. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 379 (#expands, via linked claim)

Involved in the struggle, the husband or the father learns to look upon the relations between the sexes in a new light. The militant man discovers the militant woman, and jointly they create new dimensions for Algerian society. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 252 (#expands, via linked claim)
