Beneficial interest at home is a very fundamental element of a marriage institution. When a couple ties the knot, wanting to spend the rest of their lives together, such relationship will give rise to many implications, be it legal or social. Such legal implications will continue throughout their lives not only as husband and wife, but will also become more apparent if the union between these two is broken. Hence, issues relating to distribution of property, especially matrimonial property, need to be handled as subtle as possible, alongside other ancillary claims such as maintenance and custody. The existence of both legal and beneficial interests in a property has enabled the court to resolve claims relating to ownership by looking at the existence of common intention to share beneficial ownership. Thus, this article examines the ways on how the court has utilized the concept of trust in dealing with disputed issues on matrimonial property. The study adopted a qualitative methodology where data were collected through library research. It analysed statutes, books, journals, reports, conference proceedings and other periodicals. The study concludes that the use of law of trust in the distribution of matrimonial property has become obvious since trust will be the best option to be used in resolving matters relating to any disputed property.

In general, the majority of people only know the meaning of the iddah period to see the cleanliness of the uterus. This study aims to determine how the period of iddah of husband and wife after divorce. Iddah is the waiting period before a widow or divorced woman may remarry. This research is included in library research which uses analytical descriptive as a method and is equipped with a gender equality approach. The results of the study explain that the iddah period if is associated with the basis for identifying whether a woman is pregnant or not, then the meaning is irrelevant when viewed using science and technology which has different legal implications for the iddah itself. Cleansing the uterus is not an illat of the stipulation of iddah. Illat is something that can change the situation. Iddah has until now been considered as discrimination against women, which later gave rise to the opinion that iddah is a form of gender inequality. The concept of iddah discriminates against women because it is considered to limit women’s movement after divorce. The implementation of the iddah period for husband and wife is a solution so that gender relations between men and women are well established.

Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) had introduced Value-Based Intermediation (VBI) initiatives to help Islamic banks implement a structuralised form of maqasid al-shariah (objectives of shariah (Islamic law)) in their banking operations. Thus, questions were raised by the public on whether or not Islamic banking institutions in Malaysia had been achieving maqasid al-shariah in their banking operations prior to VBI. This paper aims to discuss the real concept of maqasid al-shariah that should be realised in Islamic banks and investigate whether Islamic banks had truly been achieving maqasid al-shariah in their banking operations before the introduction of VBI. Library research is conducted to obtain information on maqasid al-shariah and the qualitative methodology is adopted to gain information from three bankers representing three Islamic banks in Malaysia via semi-structured interviews. The researchers found that the fundamental concept of maqasid al-shariah in Islamic banks includes the protection of religion, life, intellect, progeny and wealth in human life through the products and services offered by the banks. The Islamic banks were found to have developed their products and services to achieve maqasid al-shariah even before VBI was introduced by BNM. However, with VBI, a proper framework in achieving maqasid al-shariah has been developed.

A concept of rights and obligations will work when there is a balance between the two. Malahat theory is an intra doctrinal reform for the realization of humane legal norms. However, in reality, this concept is not easy to implement. It is said that a woman is made as to the subordinate in the family and sometimes there is no justice for her. At this time, women not only play a role as housewives but also help earn money for the family. What becomes a problem is how to reinterpret the equitable distribution of household rights and obligations. This study aims to describe the rights and obligations of husband and wife by maintaining the values of justice. This research is library research that discusses the husband's income for his wife, who is also the breadwinner. The paradigm of the husband is the leader of the household, and the wife is the housewife is something that spurs Muslim feminists to reinterpret. It is because wives are no longer only responsible as housewives, but more than that, they also help make a living in the household. Then, the concepts of justice, equality, ukhuwah islamiyah and mu'asyarah bil ma'ruf must be prioritized for the benefit and the formation of a sakinah, mawaddah wa rahmah in a family. It needs to be reconsidered if we want to make it a new fiqhparadigm.

Nowadays there is a tendency in many countries to protect the environment by incorporating general principles of environment into a state or a regional constitution. This article aims to examine the extent to which environmental protection can be provided through the adoption of those constitutional norms. This study was conducted using a qualitative methodology with a normative approach and library research derived from court decisions, law and regulations, books and journal articles. It concludes that the Indonesian Constitution contains constitutional norms for the environmental protection. However, these constitutional norms are still positioned as a subsidiary or supporting factor in the fulfillment of human rights and the national economy. In order to strengthen the environmental protection by the Indonesian Constitution, it requires a reformulation of related constitutional norms by positioning the environment more as the basic values in the state administration and national economic activities.

This is a research paper on Public University Libraries (PULs) which are charged with the responsibility of providing the university community with information for the parent institutions’ core activities of teaching, learning, study and research. In carrying out this responsibility, PULs have to address issues of law as these relate to the provision of information services. The purpose of this study was to investigate the legal implications of providing information services in public university libraries in Kenya. The study applied the qualitative methodology but also used a limited application of quantitative approach with issues of statistical significance. Basing on a sample of 77 librarians from public universities libraries, data was collected and analyzed using the narrative method. The study established the actual and potential implications of laws that support information (UDHR, CK, FOI, IFLA and WSIS declarations) and those that put limits to information (Copyright law, penal code, Official Secrets Act). Although librarians were knowledgeable and had skills regarding their work, evidence from the study showed that they needed to extend their knowledge and understanding in the area of laws that have implications on the provision of information as a way of enhancing their work. In conclusion the paper notes that there is scope for librarians, using their wealth of knowledge and expertise, to seek interaction with policy makers and make relevant and useful contribution on law and information. These findings are significant in that they give general direction with regard to law and the provision of information services. The research highlights the importance for librarians to create links with policy makers in order to set up a relationship with mutual benefits.
