Adel (official)

In Morocco an Adl (plural Adoul) (Arabic: عدل جمعه عدول) is an individual who practices a liberal profession through a set of competencies and conditions specified in accordance with Law No. 16.03 related to the justice plan.[1] and in special legal texts. This profession falls within the auxiliary professions of the judiciary.[2]

Adels act in pairs to record marriages. They may also draft contracts, prenuptial agreements, divorce settlements and adjudicate testaments. Their office is comparable to that of a civil law notary. Women were first allowed to become adels in 2018.[3][4][5][6]
