Child custody refers to the upbringing of a child, including the parental responsibility to provide protection, love, care, education, shelter and management. Generally, in determining who will be the legal custodian of a child, a court will first and foremost ensure that the child’s welfare is well-protected.  In Malaysia, child custody is governed by two separate laws, one for non- Muslims and one for Muslims. For non-Muslims, the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act of 1976 (Act 164) holds sway, while for Muslims it is either the Islamic Family Law Enactments of the respective states or the Islamic Family Law Act of the Federal Territories that are relevant. While the Malaysian civil court operates over the non-Muslim laws, the Syariah court operates over the Muslim ones.

Islamic law reform is essentially contrary to something that already exists (existing) then undergo a qualitative change as a product of interaction in public life It could be argued that the process of law reform Islam is seen as something autonomous, but he also interacts with other elements in society that occurred interdependent. Therefore, the concept of renewal of Islamic law requires adaptatif stance with social conditions in which it interacts. In this case, the realization of the principle of al-muhafadzah 'ala al-qadim wa al-Salih al-akhdzu bi al-jadidi al-ashlah (maintaining the old one if it is still good and accept the new or changed if it is considered better), became a necessity. Within the framework of family law reform Indonesia, Islamic law meempunyai a very important role and strategic. Said, because the family law of Islam. in addition to recognized as a source of juridical law, also has universal principles and in accordance with the personality of the Indonesian nation. In fact, sociologically Islamic family law has taken root and become law who live in the midst of the majority of Indonesian people. Renewal of Islamic law in the context of family law Indonesia includes four categories, namely; jurisprudence, fatwa, jurisprudence and legislation.

The law of Bima Sultanate was shaped by two legal traditions, Mbojo custom and Islamic law. The encounter between them did not stir up conflicts and tensions. Mbojo custom representing the local tradition and Islamic law as the external element were complementary each other; they were mutually enforcing. This article examines the implementation of Islamic family law, marriage, divorce and inheritance in Bima Sultanate. This article shows that Islamic family law was applied effectively in Bima. This can be seen from the various legal cases. One example dealt with violation of conditional divorce by Im‟s husband, Smdn. The Sultanate Court ruled one repudition on this case because Smdn was proved guilty for breaking his conditional divorce oath by leaving his wife for seven years without any support. The other case was concerned with inheritance where Islamic inheritance law was fully applied. The assimilation of adat and Islam in the Sultanate was realized by applying Islamic law or adopting its stipulations and expressing this in the language of local custom

In Indonesia, family law is well regulated in law or government regulations. In this case, with the increasingly complex family law issues supported by divorce rates, which reached 398,245 in 2015, then in 2017, it increased to 415,898, and with the development of science and technology, so many problems arise both in terms of muamalah or family law itself. For this reason, structuring is needed through legal reform that makes it follow what is needed by the wider community. Starting from this, this paper will discuss the arrangement of Islamic family law and the dynamics of family law reform in Indonesia. This study aims to provide an overview of the arrangement of Islamic families and Islamic family law reform in Indonesia. This paper uses qualitative research methods that are library researching.

This paper discusses the making Islamic family law a formal law in the perspective of the political history of Islamic law in Indonesia, which cannot be separated from the role of the regime since the beginning of the Old Order era. In this era, the regime showed its alignment with the renewal of Islamic law. However, when the regime was not as firm and tended to be democratic, as it was during the Reformation era, Islamic family law reform tended to be stagnant. On the other hand, the history of Islamic family law renewal also experienced ups and downs because it is affected by political configurations, in which Indonesian Muslims attitudes could be classified into progressive and Islamist groups. Progressive groups try to fight for the renewal of Islamic family law contextually; whereas Islamist groups are more textual in responding to Islamic family law reform.

Among the numerous problems frequently discussed by Islamic jurists is the separation of Muhammad's functions between as a Prophet or Apostle and as the head of a state. Sunnah as a reflection of the former must be carried out as it is, while the sunnah that represents the latter should be seen through adjusting the context to particular places and times. In general, the former is much related to the issues of ritual practices (Ibadah / God worshiping) which are regarded static or fixed in nature; probability of changes and development does not seem to appear in this domain although diversity does exist. Contrawise, a study on Muhammad's function as the head of state will experience progressive changes because it involves changes of variables such as time, place, circumstance, motivation, and tradition. However, due to the nature of bidimensionality of Islamic law, Muhammad's gait as the head of state is inseparable from the textual content of revelation which is rigid in nature; such particular content will stay unchanged across space and time. This content is called "value" (e.g. Syamsul Anwar), or maqāṣid al-syarī`ah (al-Ghazali, al-Syāṭibī, al-Ṭūfī, Ibnu Asyūr) or — ratio legis (Fazlur Rahman). The law can experience changes in adjustment to space and time under the same textual content in use as a guide

The long history of reforming Islamic Family Law in the Muslim world began in the 20th century when Turkey became the first Muslim country to pioneer this reform. These reforms greatly influenced the reform of Islamic family law in Egypt and provided a more forward-looking color compared to what was previously done, the impetus for reform and reform of Islamic law in Egypt came from within the Islamic tradition itself and from outside the Islamic tradition. In addition to reforming family law in general, Egypt has also reformed the concept of inheritance law regarding wajibat for orphan grandchildren, which actually does not discuss this matter in classical books. Egypt regulates the issue of compulsory wills in the Egyptian Law, namely Law no. 71 of 1946 concerning inheritance, Egypt introduced a new concept in terms of inheritance for orphaned grandchildren who are usually considered as dzawil arham who are prevented from obtaining inheritance, so they are now entitled to inheritance by using the mandatory will. The concept of wills, mandatory, for inheritance for orphaned grandchildren does not exist in classical jurisprudence, and it appears that Egypt is trying to reform the law by inventing new laws or rechtsvinding, in order to find a solution to the inheritance problems that occur in Egypt.

The Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976 (LRA) which was passed in 1976 and came into force on 1st March 1982, standardized the laws concerning non-Muslim family matters. Many family issues concerning non-Muslim have emerged ever since, the most important being the effects of unilateral conversion to Islam by one of the parties to the marriage. There has been a lot of public hue and cry for amendments to be made to the LRA. After much deliberation, the Malaysian Parliament finally passed the amendments to the LRA in October 2017, which came into force in December 2018. Although the amendments have addressed selected family law issues, the most important amendment on child custody in a unilateral conversion to Islam was dropped from the Bill at the last minute. Howsoever, at the end of the day, the real question that needs to be addressed is whether the amendments have resolved the major issues that have arisen over the past four decades? Hence, the purpose of this article is as follows: first, to examine the brief background to the passing of the LRA, secondly, to analyse the 2017 amendments, thirdly, to identify the weaknesses that still exist in the LRA, and finally, to suggest recommendations to overcome these weaknesses by comparing the Malaysian position with the Singaporean position. In conclusion, it is submitted that despite the recent amendments to the LRA, much needs to be done to overcome all the remaining issues that have still not been addressed.
