One divorce in Malaysia every 10 minutes
2 Mar 2014 - Civil servant Jamilah Baharuddin (not her real
name) and her husband divorced in 2012 after 12 long years of conflict with his
family who did not approve of their marriage.
The 35-year-old woman, who earns about RM6,500 a month, says
they likely would not have split up if she wasn’t working because she would
have been forced to rely on her husband to support her and their three children
financially.
“That’s one of the reasons why a lot of Malay women in rural
areas are scared to step forward and get a divorce when they are abused ― they
can’t survive without their husband’s assistance,” Jamilah told The Malay Mail
Online recently.
The number of divorces in Malaysia has more than doubled in
just eight years from 2004. In 2012, a whopping 56,760 divorces were recorded,
which is equivalent to a marriage breaking down every 10 minutes.
