Description

This set of papers is a collection of writings, which emanated from a research project entitled MUSWAL (Muslim Women and Law), sponsored by the Women's Crisis Centre (WCC), Penang, with financial contributions from the Dutch foundation, HIVOS. The general purpose of this research was to investigate the historical, legal, and socio-cultural aspects of Muslim women's status in Malaysia. We specifically examined the development of Syariah laws in the country, analysed the substantive aspects of the law in relation to women's rights, looked at how actual legal cases brought about by women were handled in several Syariah Courts and observed the process of Islamic counselling that women had to go through when they sought redress through the courts.
