Its spokesman Datuk Noor Farida Ariffin was quoted today by English daily The Star as saying that the group will set up a consultative council to study these laws and subsequently recommend that they be repealed or be amended where necessary.

She cited as example the laws governing khalwat (close proximity), noting that Malaysia is the only Muslim country with such laws.

Also speaks about .... A spouse converts to Islam, and then the Shariah Court dissolves the marriage. This is something they cannot do because the marriage was solemnised under the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976 which is a civil law. And then the non-converting spouse has no remedy, Noor Farida was quoted as saying. ...... Like I said before, whose Shariah do you want ? Looking at ISIS now, whose Islam do you want ? |

@ stellar43 - 8.12.15 - 12:40am interesting that she also inviting non muslims into the group too as she says its also going to affect them. Of course it affects them. Yet we are repeatedly told Shariah doesn't affect non muslims |

That's the thing about Sisters in Islam, they have such an uphill struggle, but carry on.
