Muslim Divorce Proceedings
Parties need to be residents of Singapore for at least 3 years before being able to apply for divorce in Singapore. (Refer to Section 35 of the Administration of Muslim Law Act for more information.) The proceedings in Islamic divorce differ depending on who is seeking it: for the husband, this is done via pronouncing the ‘talak’, allowing him to divorce his wife. In contrast, if the wife is seeking divorce and the husband does not wish to divorce, the wife will have to go through the process of obtaining the divorce via Khuluk, Cerai taklik (breach of taklik) or Fasakh. However, most of the time, this impasse is resolved by way of a hakam (arbitration) process.
