 Family Law in Malaysia by Kamala M. G. Pillai  Kamala Pillai’s new book Family Law in Malaysia provides a comprehensive overview of family law issues with a detailed study of the key cases. It includes coverage of the civil law aspects of family law applicable to non-Muslim citizens both in Peninsular and East Malaysia as well as an extensive discussion on domestic violence and the Domestic Violence Act 1994. Many family law practitioners will find the chapter on the status of children of particular interest as it includes their citizenship rights as provided for under Article 14(1) of the Federal Constitution and parental child abduction,. References are made to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction and some human rights decisions from around the Commonwealth as they are becoming increasingly important in the practice of family law in Malaysia. Non-Muslims may also be interested in learning about the impact of conversion to Islam. This has a significant consequence on marriage where a spouse converts without informing their spouse about it as laid out in the chapter “The Effect of Conversion and Apostasy on Family Law”. |
