5 questions: family policy in Malaysia
Jun 11th, 2008 by Holly Fox
A new feature of Familienpolitik is the 5 questions interview. This week I spoke with Faizah Marzuki, a 31-year-old Malaysian who is an account director for an advertising company.
In the interview Marzuki refers to the fact that in Malaysia the different ethnic and religious populations are governed by different laws. Muslims, who make up about 60 percent of the population, are bound by sharia law. Ethnic Chinese and Indians, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus and other non-Muslims are ruled by civil law. This makes a big difference when it comes to marriage and divorce, as Marzuki describes in her answers.
