Enforcement (Committal Proceeding)
The enforcement of Syariah Court orders on maintenance (Nafkah iddah and Nafkah Muta’ah), or custody, care or control or access, is made in the Family Justice Courts. Parties may lodge a Magistrate’s Complaint for any such breaches of the Court order under section 53 of the Administration of Muslim Law Act 1966. For Committals rule in the matter of rule 759 of the Family Justice Rules 2014 (S813/2014) and In the matter of section 51 & 52 of the Administration of Muslim Act 1966.
If a Court Order issued by the Syariah Court contains a proxy power clause allowing the Court to sign, on behalf of a defaulting party, documents to sell or transfer the matrimonial property, enforcement of the clause is made by filing a Request to the Court Registry.
