The husband has not paid maintenance for months. What action can be taken?

The wife can file a maintenance claim at the Syariah Court, and the court can order the husband to pay current maintenance and arrears.
Material maintenance (nafkah zahir: food, clothing, accommodation) is obligatory on the husband according to his means (2:233, 65:7). Before going to court, try discussing it or seek counselling and mediation (sulh). If the husband defies a court order, enforcement action can be taken, including salary deduction; some states have a Family Support Division (Bahagian Sokongan Keluarga) that helps. Not providing maintenance for a certain period can also be grounds for fasakh under state enactments. Hind was allowed to take what was sufficient from her miserly husband's wealth (Sahih al-Bukhari 5364). See Maintenance (nafkah) and Calculator.
