The effects of a divorce

‘Freedom’ is the result of a divorce. The husband after a divorce can freely enter into a legal relationship with another woman. The wife too can marry a person whom she loves. However, certain obligations are still binding on the parties by the terms of the divorce. If the husband agrees to pay RM1500/= per month to his former wife and children then he must adhere to it, otherwise the wife can apply to the Court to order him to do so. Properties of the marriage will be divided according to the terms mutually agreed upon between the parties.
