The recent spate of cases ranging from conversion cases like Lina Joy’s case to family issues where one spouse has converted to Islam leaving the rights of the unconverted spouse in areas of custody and maintenance uncertain has shown clearly that supremacy of the civil courts is much needed to resolve with finality the outstanding issue of the jurisdiction between the civil and syariah courts. This outstanding issue has resulted in the non-converting spouse being left without a real solution apart from the syariah courts to custody matters and also the right of the converting spouse to convert the minor children to Islam without the consent of the non-converting spouse.
Prayer Points:
- Supremacy of civil courts to be recognized and restored
- Civil court to accept jurisdiction over syariah cases when one of the party involved is a non-Muslim
- Civil courts to remain separated from syariah courts.
