Domestic violence in Asia is explored in this analysis through questions of family ambiguity and the relationship between concept, law, and strategy. Comparative experiences in the Asian context enable an examination of the effectiveness of family regulations and laws in diverse national, cultural, and religious settings. Key questions relate to the limits and relevance of the human rights discourse in resolving family conflicts; the extent to which power and control in intimate relationships can actually be regulated by a set of inanimate, homogeneous, and uniform policies and legislations; and how the state relates to the family as an ambiguous unit given state rules of governance that perpetuate unequal gender relations. Carefully considering the many components of domestic violence--such as state intervention versus the private domain and differences in legislation across Asia--the book offers new theoretical insights to the conceptualization of the family, culture, and law, and provides reasoned new perspectives on the effectiveness or inadequacy of present policies and enforcement strategies against domestic violence in Asia.

This book provides a systematic and interdisciplinary examination of law and legal institutions in Malaysia. It examines legal issues from historical, social, and political perspectives, and discusses the role of law in relation to Malaysian multiculturalism, religion, politics, and society. It shows how the Malaysian legal system is at the heart of debates about how to deal with the country's problems, which include ethnic and religious divisions, uneven and unsustainable development, and political authoritarianism; and it argues that the Malaysian legal system has much to teach other plural polities, nations within the common law tradition, and federal states.

This thesis examines the adequacy and effectiveness of the legal principles governing Domestic Violence Act (DVA) 1994 in protecting battered wives. The study works on the premise that despite the presence of a specific law, the occurrence of violence within the household never ends. In assessing the efficacy of the existing law, an empirical research was conducted utilizing a qualitative method apart from conducting library research. Files from courts, the welfare department and police department were examined to identify the various problems encountered by battered wives when dealing with violence committed against them. To further support the data obtained from various agencies, the study also carried out several interviews with relevant authorities to identify consistencies between the reports and personal encounters experienced by those who have handled cases on domestic violence. References were made to several legislations where the law governing DVA acts as a guideline and has been improvised to provide better protection to the victims. In addition, these references provide a firm platform in understanding the methods executed in dealing with domestic violence. Suggestions for reform to the existing DVA by using comparative analysis have also been mooted. The study clearly proves that the Malaysian Domestic Violence Act 1994 has to some extent provided comprehensive rules relating to protection for the victims. However, the absence and ambiguity of certain provisions in providing the necessary and appropriate protection for the victims show that there is lacuna and room for improvement. Malaysia has to a certain degree succeeded in providing a law for the betterment of battered wives. Nonetheless, weaknesses exist in the implementation of the law which in fact is crucial for protecting these women. This study also shows that the nexus between all interrelated agencies is still poor and weak as there is no proper comprehensive and standardized procedure applicable.

The second edition of Family Law (Non-Muslims) in Malaysia is generally an improved version from the. first edition which was published ten years ago and heavily referred to by law students as a textbook. It discusses the substantive family laws related to the non-Muslims in Malaysia which are based on the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976- an several other supplementary statutes. Besides updating the previous chapters on family law matters, the book updates the global concern on the appropriate law when dealing with family related disputes in the 21st century. The new topics on reconciliation and mediation are incorporated to emphasise the need for therapeutic intervention when dealing with personal relationships and encourage kindness even in the most difficult of circumstances which can have significant longer-term consequences and lead to higher levels of considerate behaviour. The philosophy of family, love and kindness must be well embraced by family law lawyers, judges and administrators of family law in the adjudication process. The book is jointly authored by family law lecturers at the Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah of Laws, International Islamic University Malaysia. It will benefit not only students, academics and practitioners, but also those in the legal fraternity and those who have interest in non-Muslims' family law in Malaysia. Finally, this book could not have been published without a great deal of help and encouragement from many sources.
