The National Dialogue Committee recommended an increase in the number of seats allotted to women in the Council for the next parliamentary election. The decision was welcomed by the Women's Event which considered it a step in the right direction in enabling women to play an essential role  in Parliament.

They welcomed raising the number of seats for women from 12 to 15, despite earlier demands that women should hold 30 seats in Council.

The Committee recommendation agreement increased the number of seats women hold within the three Badia districts, "North, Central, and South." According to the Secretary-General of the National Constitutional Party, Ahmed Shannaq, increasing the number of seats for women gives them representation in all constituencies.

Despite the guarantees this quota gives to ensuring women have access to Parliament, Shunnaq said the quota is a violation of equality between men and women.

In the same context, Mohammed Al-Subaihi described the women's quota as "decor" and said it violates the Jordanian Constitution, "if a constitutional court existed, this decision would have been challenged." Al-Subaihi refused to view women as undermined in society.

The quota system was founded in 2003 after the government issued an amendment in 2002 which  allocated six seats for women in parliament as well as gave them the right to compete in other spheres. This increased the number of females in Parliament and proved successful in the current parliament since several women's voices are heard over those of their male counterparts.

Two females won their place in Parliament without relying on the quota system: MP Falak Al-Jamaani, during the 15th Parliament, and Reem Badran in the current Parliament.

Women's Union member Maha Al-Murashed considers this increase as a step forward that could lead to increased participation from women in Parliament. She wished that the percentage will increase to met the standards of the United Nations (33%). The same was expressed by Arwa Kilani, the head of the Women's sector in the Islamic Action Front Party, who believes that having 15 seats for women is the justice deserved.

Kilani added, "if this number continues to grow, it could allow women to reach Parliament by competing."

Opinions and stances have varied regarding this increase. Activist Inaam Asha for example described the increased number of women as "disappointing." She added that the increase isn't fair, however it is better than those that came before it. Inaam wonders why women don't hold 30 seats in Parliament in regards to the recommendation made by the Committee to increase the number of MPs from 120 to 130.
