🏛️ Polygyny: the law · #30
Apa yang isteri pertama boleh buat jika suami kahwin lain tanpa kebenaran?
The wife has several legal options and need not stay silent. Among them:
• complaining to the Enforcement Division of the state Islamic Religious Department about the offence of polygyny without permission;
• applying for a maintenance order for herself and the children if maintenance is neglected;
• claiming her right to her turn and to fair treatment;
• applying for judicial dissolution (fasakh) or taʿliq divorce if there is harm recognised by Syariah law (darar syarie) or a taʿliq condition has been breached;
• in certain circumstances, claiming jointly acquired matrimonial property (harta sepencarian).
The right option depends on the facts of the case, so seek advice from a Syariah lawyer or the Legal Aid Bureau. Read secret polygyny and talaq & divorce.
