‘Family law’ focuses on Islamic family law, the two main aspects of which are: marriage and the dissolution of marriage. Marriage by mutual contract (al-nikāh) is the only lawful type of marriage under Islamic law, with rules regulating its validity and consequences. The two main categories of requirements for the validity of an Islamic marriage are: prerequisites and essential components of the marriage contract. The questions of maintenance, polygamy, and stipulations are vital topics for family law. Under classical Islamic law, a marriage may be dissolved either through (i) unilateral dissolution initiated by the husband (talāq), (ii) dissolution initiated by the wife (khulʻ), (iii) dissolution by mutual agreement (mubāraʻah), or (iv) judicial dissolution (faskh).

Resumen: El presente trabajo se centra en el análisis de las posibles colisiones existentes entre el orden público español y las principales instituciones del Derecho de familia islámico. No podrán integrarse aquellas instituciones que sean contrarias a valores esenciales de nuestro ordenamiento como la igualdad entre sexos o la monogamia. Sin embargo, a través de la aplicación del orden público atenuado, sería posible reconocer algunos “efectos colaterales” a estas instituciones cuando resultaren beneficiosos para la mujer. El objetivo último sería la protección de ésta como la parte más débil de la relación matrimonial.Palabras clave: Derecho islámico, orden público, matrimonio islámico, poligamia, repudio. Abstract: The present paper focuses on the analysis of the possible collisions between the Spanish public order and the main institutions of the Islamic Family Law. It will not be possible to integrate those institutions which are against essential values of Spanish law such as gender equality or monogamy. However, it would be possible to recognize some “collateral effects” to these institutions if they resulted beneficial for women, through the application of the attenuated public order. The main purpose would be women’s protection, as they are the weakest party of the marriage relationship.Keywords: Islamic Law, public order, Islamic marriage, polygamy, repudiation.

Sociological studies in Islamic family law are an alternative to legal research, which is a legal research not only in the forms of existing rules, but also examines the law in the legal reality that occurs in society. Sociological studies become a different point of view, where Islamic family law research is very close to syara 'law, determining whether or not it is permissible according to syara'. Sociological research Sociological research can be a research explaining the phenomenon of Islamic family law studied with social theories. Moreover, the family is the smallest social structure in the social world. The study of legal practices in matters related to the Islamic family becomes legal studies not only in the form of normative doctrinal, but empirical non-doctrinal.

Nikahal-khitbah or popularly known as nikah gantung became a choice of a handful of teenagers especially among university students in Malaysia due to financial constraints and educational reason. Such type of wedding practice raises a number of questions related to juristic issues. This is because the practice of Nikahal-khitbah involves establishing some limitation of rights that violate the purpose or intent of marriage. Among others, the spouses agree to defer some of their rights such as declining the right of nafaqah and the right of sexual intercourse which are against the original purpose (muqtada aqd) of marriage contract. This paper aims to study the opinions of jurists (FuqahÉ’) regarding such limitation or agreement in marriage contract and their validity according to the Islamic Family Law in Malaysia. This paper relies on analytical study in discussing the opinions of the Fuqaha’ and understanding the legal texts of the law related to the matter. This study found that marriage practice through nikah al-khitbah is valid according to the majority views of FuqahÉ’. Islamic family laws in Malaysia do not deny the validity of such marriage practices although there are some legal effects on the limitation of marriage rights.           Keywords: Agreement in marriage contract, nikah al-khitbah, permission by the wali, Islamic Family Law in Malaysia. Abstrak Nikah al-khitbah atau lebih dikenali dengan nikah gantung menjadi pilihan segelintir remaja terutamanya di kalangan pelajar universiti di Malaysia atas faktor kekangan kewangan serta pelajaran. Amalan pernikahan ini menimbulkan beberapa pertanyaan berkaitan hukum fiqh.

Antaranya, pasangan suami isteri bersetuju untuk melepaskan hak mereka terhadap pasangan mereka, iaitu hak mendapat nafaqah dan hak melakukan hubungan kelamin, yang mana ianya bercanggah dengan matlamat asal atau muqtada akad nikah. Objektif kertas kerja ini adalah untuk mengkaji pandangan para Fuqaha’ terhadap pensyaratan atau perjanjian sebegitu di dalam akad nikah dan keterikatannya menurut Undang-Undang Keluarga Islam di Malaysia. Kertas kerja ini menggunakan kaedah analis di dalam membincangkan pandangan Fuqaha’ dan di dalam memahami peruntukan undang-undang berkaitan dengan perkara tersebut. Kajian ini mendapati bahawa amalan perkahwinan secara nikah al-khitbah adalah sah menurut pandangan majoriti FuqahÉ’.

This article studies the hidden wisdom behind the pronouncement of conditional divorce, the rules and conditions prescribed by the jurists, as well as the forms and types of ta’līq in shariah law. This article also seeks to look at the practice of ta’līq in Malaysia as well as provisions under Islamic family law in Malaysia, as well as the practice direction issued by the Department of Syariah Judiciary Malaysia. The study employed library research to expound the opinions of earlier jurists from various schools of Islamic jurisprudence, and textual studies on the provisions of law related to the issue concerned. The study found that the wording of the official pronouncements of ta’līq varies from state to state, hence the consequences can also differ. The researcher is of the view that the practice of pronouncing ta’līq after the solemnization of a marriage contract should be reviewed. It needs to be said that the validation of a divorce by ta’līq is a more complicated process than an ordinary divorce.
