Cracking the whip: The Selangor Syariah Court’s Family Support Division was set up in 2008 when it was found that an astounding 12,300 ex-husbands and fathers had refused to comply with the maintenance order issued by the Syariah Court, thereby causing hardship for their ex-wives and children.
If you are one of those divorced Muslim men who tries to avoid paying maintenance for your ex-wife and children, think again because it might be just a matter of time before the law catches up with you.
HAMIDAH Abdul Wahab was at her wits’ end when her ex-husband Jamaludin Mohamad refused to pay maintenance for her and their children even though she had obtained an order from the Syariah Court ordering him to pay up.
