The growing awareness of their post-divorce rights among these highly successful women also illustrates the growth of their knowledge in matters such as education, careers and other livelihood issues.

In addition, the mut‘ah al-talaq provisions in the Islamic Family Law will also be analyzed to discover the extent of the protection of the women’s rights based on the Islamic Law of Malaysia.
