147. Specifically, Law n° 61-10 of 7 March 1961, as amended by Law n° 89-42 of 26 December, 1989, determining Senegalese nationality provides as follows «may opt for Senegalese nationality from the age of 18 years up to 25 years :  A legitimate child born to a Senegalese mother and a father who is a foreign national;  “A child born out of wedlock when the parent in respect of whom parentage has been established in the second instance is Senegalese, and the other parent is a foreign national” 148. The foreign woman who marries a Senegalese may acquire Senegalese nationality except where she expressly abandoned any claim to it during the celebration of the marriage. Conversely, a Senegalese woman who marries a foreigner does not lose her original nationality, unless for purposes of her marriage, she expressly requests to be deprived of her nationality. In such a case, the cancellation can only be effective if she is able to acquire the nationality of the future husband. 149. Furthermore, regarding employment and social security, Law n° 61-33 of 16 June 1961 on the general civil service regulations co-exists with specific regulations for some categories of public servants, Law n° 59-64 of 6 November, 1959, as amended by Law 97-17 of 17 December 1997 on the Labour Code and Law 75-50 of 03 April 1975 relating to social security institutions, both Laws state that no distinction shall be made between a man and a woman as far as their implementation is concerned. 150. Under the penal code, Law n° 77-33 of 22 February 1977 on the amendment of the penal code repealed Article 332 which provided for and penalized the offence of desertion of the marital home considered as discriminatory against women. In fact, the choice of matrimonial home was one of the privileges of the husband, who did not seem to care about the provisions of Article 332. In addition, the offence of desertion of the matrimonial home has been removed and replaced with desertion of the family, a more neutral formulation. 151. Law n° 72-61 of 12 June 1972 on the Family Code has instituted divorce by mutual consent, thus placing men and women on equal footing. Furthermore, the same law prohibits repudiation which gives the man priority in Islamic law, and as a penalty, it has made serious insults against women a case for divorce. directly or in a disguised form, distributed or delivered , for purposes of their distribution by any means, any objects or images, any printed material, writings, speeches, posters, engravings, paintings, photographs, films or emblems, photographs, films or photo negatives, matrices or reproductions designed to declare racial superiority , or racial hatred or constituting an incitement to racial, ethnic or religious discrimination.» 35
