BARU: The Government will conduct Syariah Court proceedings at night
and on public holidays in an effort to reduce the backlog of cases,
Deputy Minister at the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Dr Mashitah
Ibrahim said.
“We have enough Syariah Court judges but more time is needed to dispose as many cases as possible.
“It will be one of the moves to help reduce the backlog of cases,” Dr Mashitah said after attending a Halal Carnival organised by the Malaysian Department of Islamic Development (Jakim) here yesterday.
Dr Mashitah, said based on statistics, almost all cases registered for divorce were after the fifth year of marriage.

“Although the divorce rate among Muslims is high, we must not view it negatively.
“It shows that there is awareness among couples of their rights within the ambit of Syariah law concerning marriage and divorce.
“Jakim is always finding ways to give counselling to estranged couples to reduce the number of divorces,” she added.
It was reported that 2009 statistics showed one divorce occurred every 15 minutes among Muslims.
