Property Division Under Malaysian Law

Civil Law (Non-Muslims):

Under Section 76 of the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976, courts have the power to divide matrimonial assets in such proportions as the court deems just and equitable.

Courts consider:

• Each party's financial and non-financial contributions

• Direct contributions (money, property)

• Indirect contributions (homemaking, child care)

• The needs of minor children

• Each party's earning capacity and financial prospects

• The standard of living enjoyed during marriage

• The length of the marriage

Islamic Law (Muslims):

For Muslims, property division is governed by Harta Sepencarian principles under Syariah law, which recognizes both financial and non-financial contributions made during the marriage.
