KUALA LUMPUR: Almost 80,000 divorce cases were filed at courts nationwide during the Covid-19 pandemic period between March 2020 and last month.

From the total divorce cases, 66,440 involved Muslim couples and 10,346 involved non-Muslims.

 

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the data on the divorce cases were based on the statistics provided by the Courts and the Syariah Judiciary Department.

Ismail Sabri (BN - Bera) said this in his written reply in Parliament when responding to a question by Datuk Dr Hasan Bahrom (PH - Tampin) who asked the prime minister to state the statistic of divorce cases involving people in the rural areas during the pandemic.

"The courts do not have a specific statistic on divorce cases among people in the rural areas during the pandemic.

"However, the number of divorce cases filed among non-Muslim couples nationwide from March in 2020 until August 2021 was 10,346 cases.

"Similarly, the Syariah Judiciary Department does not have the distribution of divorce cases filed among Muslim couples residing in the urban and rural areas.

"However, the number of cases registered for divorces involving Muslim couples during the same period was 66,440," he said.

Based on these statistics, Selangor has the highest number of couples registering for divorce, in which, 12,479 cases involved Muslim couples and 3,169 cases involved non-Muslim couples.
