Replying to Datuk Noraini Ahmad (BN-Parit Sulong), Mashitah said the procedures for Muslim marriages and divorces were consistent in every state.
"The content and sections in the Islamic family law for marriages and divorces are uniformed."
THE syariah courts are still facing a shortage of judges, the Dewan Rakyat was told yesterday.
Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Dr Mashitah Ibrahim said this is despite more judges being appointed to help reduce the number of backlog cases in the syariah courts.
"We have asked for more judges to be appointed, but so far, we have not managed to get the number we wanted.
"For example, we asked for 12 judges for the lower syariah courts but only six were approved.
We requested for eight judges for the syariah high courts and only four were approved," she said in reply to a supplementary question from Nasharuddin Mat Isa (PAS-Bachok).
Mashitah said in a year, a syariah judge had to preside over at least 800 cases.
