Faraq Perkahwinan Bagi Pasangan Tak Sah Taraf Di Negeri Sembilan

Islam stressed on the importance of a valid marriage. If a marriage does not comply its requirement and conditions according to Shariah, it will raise negative implications not only on the status of the marriage, but also it will effect the status of the child. Hence, the marriage must be separated. Generally, the Muslim scholars define faraq as separation or dissolution of marriage through talak or otherwise. However, according to Islamic law in Malaysia, faraq is not a dissolution of marriage via talak, but it is an annulment of marriage due to non-fulfillment of terms and conditions which laid down by Shariah. In context of abiding the conditions and terms to marriage, having a wali is one of the conditions in solemnization of a valid marriage. Marriage which is solemnized by a non-qualified wali such as in cases of illegal children will cause the marriage to be separated.
