Sharia Law in Malaysia
Sharia Law in Malaysia is a legal system that governs the personal and family matters of Muslims, such as marriage, divorce, and inheritance. It operates alongside the civil law system, which applies to all citizens regardless of religion. Each state in Malaysia has its own Sharia Court to handle these matters, and the laws can vary from one state to another.
The implementation of Sharia Law is primarily aimed at promoting Islamic values and principles. Non-Muslims are generally not subject to Sharia Law, but they may encounter its influence in certain areas, such as public morality and social conduct.
