Summary
This community conversation episode focused on divorce and child custody under customary law in South Sudan. The guest said many cases are handled by customary courts, where traditions often favour men and leave women disadvantaged. Women may struggle to get a divorce, especially without legal support, and child custody decisions do not always consider the child’s best interests. The discussion also highlighted the need for reforms, greater awareness among chiefs, and stronger laws, such as the family bill and the anti-GBV bill, to better protect women and children.
