Appeal Board
The board serves as an independent body to ensure fairness and justice in resolving disputes, offering a formal avenue for appeals.
The Appeal Board is constituted under section 55(3) of the Administration of Muslim Law Act (AMLA) to hear appeals against decisions of the Syariah Court, the Kadi or the Naib Kadi of the Registry of Muslim Marriages. Section 55 of AMLA provides for the issues in which an appeal can be made against. These may include issues relating to custody of minor children, disposition or division of the matrimonial property on divorce.
