| Summary: | Most of the cases related to claims of matrimonial property or harta sepencarian are
confined to existing personal property which existed or acquired during the marriage prior
to the divorce, such as buildings, land, vehicles. However, many modern families are
venturing into business either as a principal means of generating income or as an additional
measure to generate income. This has resulted in interest in intangible interests such as
shares and investments in business (in addition to tangible ones). With the changes in
proprietary interest, it is perceived that the scope of claims on matrimonial property shall
also be revolutionised to include claims of future earning and intangible interests. This
paper analyses cases related to matrimonial property claims in Shari’ah courts in Kelantan,
Terengganu and Malacca. The objective is to highlight scope of claims and approaches
of the Shari’ah courts in dealing with matrimonial property claims related to intangible
interest, such as business interest and future earnings. The research was based on doctrinal
and statutory analysis. |
