Islamic Law: Legal Practice / Pro-Bono

A practitioner's text for family law and practice in Singapore, this revised edition includes a chapter on "Family Proceedings Involving Muslims Heard at the Family Court" (Chapter 7).
It provides helpful commentary as well as forms and precedents used for applications. The book will be particularly relevant as it discusses the jurisdictional issues vis-a-vis the civil court and Syariah court. However, it was published in 2008 and there have since been significant reforms to the Family Courts in Singapore, as exemplified by the Family Justice Act 2014.

This book provides comprehensive coverage of Family Law in Singapore, and is written by a respected and authoritative team including judicial officers. It includes developments in family law practice, such as the establishment of the Family Justice Courts in 2014.
In particular, Chapter 20 provides an Overview of Syariah Law in Family Matters, including marriage, divorce, ancillary matters and succession.
