A state of chaos ensued as a physical altercation broke out under the dome of the Jordanian parliament, coinciding with the council's discussions on the constitutional amendments submitted by the government. Tensions escalated when the council began debating the amendment to Article Six, which adds the word "Jordanian women" to the phrase "Jordanian individuals are equal before the law, without distinction...".
The debate revolved around the necessity of adding "Jordanian women" and whether it was a necessary addition or just a linguistic enhancement. This led to heated discussions about the priority of speaking and debating, which then escalated into physical confrontations, necessitating a half-hour suspension of the session.
Upon resuming, another physical clash occurred among the lawmakers when one member refused to accept an apology from the council's president, leading to the adjournment of the session.
