Overview

Inshallah a Boy is a 2023 Jordanian drama film directed by Amjad Al Rasheed, exploring the deeply entrenched patriarchal inheritance laws of Jordanian society. When working mother Nawal suddenly loses her husband, she faces an immediate threat: her brother-in-law intends to seize her home, backed by laws that favor male heirs. Desperate to protect her daughter and preserve their home, Nawal makes a dangerous decision — to pretend she is pregnant with a son. The film is a gripping, socially charged portrait of a woman navigating a system designed to work against her, raising urgent questions about gender, law, and survival. It premiered at Cannes Directors' Fortnight to international acclaim.

A coproduction of companies from Jordan, France, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Egypt, the film stars Mouna Hawa as Nawal, a recently widowed woman who must pretend to be pregnant in order to protect herself and her daughter from Jordan's patriarchal inheritance laws, which would permit her husband's family to take everything she owned, leaving Nawal with nothing, solely because she did not bear him a son.
