Sunday, the House of Representatives approved adding the female noun for a Jordanian citizen to Article VI of the constitution, following the recommendation of the Royal Committee for the Modernization of the Political System.

This came during a session held by the Parliament.

Sunday, MP Abdul Karim Al-Dughmi apologized to the Jordanian people after the chaos that occurred in the last session held by the Parliament, which was interspersed with clashes between a number of MPs.

Dughmi said that what happened last Tuesday was “unfortunate.”

“We apologize to the Jordanian people for what happened,” he said

He also apologized to the MP Raed Al-Smairat, for the talk he addressed to him during the previous session, stressing that he is "a brother and a colleague.”

Last week, clashes and verbal altercations erupted in a Parliament session during a debate on an amendment that included adding the female noun for a Jordanian citizen, to a chapter in the constitution guaranteeing equal rights of all citizens.

Following that, several MPs angrily disputed the amendment, saying it is "useless."
