Or why Muslim couples attend maintenance cases at the Family Court but their divorce applications however do not come under the Family Court's jurisdiction? And where do you go to if there are disputes over inheritance of a Muslim's estate - Syariah Court or Civil Court ? For an overview of these and other related issues, please read the article by Ahmad Nizam Abbas written for the Postgraduate Law Course Manual on Family & Probate. |
