جلد النساء في ماليزيا

Quote: وكانت محكمة تطبق الشريعة الإسلامية في ولاية باهانغ الماليزية قد حكمت على كارتيكا ساري ديفي شوكارنو، البالغة من العمر 32 عاماً، بست جلدات بعصى خيزران بعد اعترافها باحتساء البيرة في أحد الفنادق في ديسمبر/ كانون الأول 2007. كما فرضت عليها غرامة بقيمة 5,000 روبية ماليزية (نحو 1,400 دولار أمريكي).

Quote: Dual justice system The dual system of law is provided in Article 121(1A) of the Constitution of Malaysia. Article 3 also provides that Islamic law is a state law matter with the exception for the Federal Territories of Malaysia.[1] Islamic law refers to the sharia law, and in Malaysia it is known and spelled as syariah. The court is known as the Syariah Court. Looking at the Malaysian legal system as a whole, sharia law plays a relatively small role in defining the laws on the country. It only applies to Muslims. With regards to civil law, the Syariah courts has jurisdiction in personal law matters, for example marriage, inheritance, and apostasy. In some states there are sharia criminal laws, for example there is the Kelantan Syariah Criminal Code Enactment 1993. Their jurisdiction is however limited to imposing fines for an amount not more than RM 3000, and imprisonment to not more than 6 months.[2] In August 2007, the then Chief Justice of Malaysia proposed to replace the current common law application in Malaysia with sharia law.[3] As an example of the dual system, sometimes a nightclub is raided, and Muslim patrons drinking alcohol are prosecuted in Shariah courts, while the others are allowed to drink. Also the nightclub operator is not charged with any offense, because he is not legally required to check if customers are Muslim before serving them. Wikipedia®
