Aid For Divorce Women

I think it is a good idea to have the alimony aid but what I don't understand is that how about the non Muslim who has been straggling to support their children as their husband has not given them or paid them any single sen.

The Government will come to the aid of Muslim women who are going through divorce but are not being paid alimony (nafkah).

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Jamil Khir Baharom said the Government had approved an allocation of RM15mil to pay women caught in this predicament. He said the payments, which would be in the form of loans, was to ensure that their welfare was well looked after.

“Sometimes, the husbands refuse to provide alimony until after the court reaches a decision on the divorce case.

“The allocation is therefore given to the wives and children for their daily expenses,” he told reporters after the Malaysian Islamic Develop­ment Department’s (Jakim) monthly meeting here yesterday.

This shows that the government would help the wives and the children but this could only be use for the Muslim and I wonder what if the non Muslim who have the same problem when their husband do not provide them any money.Where do they go?Welfare home?

I hope the government would consider the non Muslim as well as by giving out the alimony aid these would lesser the burden of the wives who is taking care of their young child.
