The Islamic faith
was brought to the country of Malaysia by Indian traders sometime in the 13th century.
Since then, Malaysia has become predominantly Muslim and the rules and laws of
this religion are deeply embedded within the society.
All Malaysians are
considered as Muslim by the country's constitution and are bound by the laws
and rules of Islam. The main legal school followed by Islamic judges in
Malaysia is the Shafi'i, the country's main madh'hab.
All matters of
marriage, divorce, custody, inheritance and so on are covered by the so-called
Shariah courts and citizens are obliged to abide by the rulings of these
courts.
As in other Muslim
countries, laws forbid unmarried couples to spend any amount of time alone
together to prevent even the suspicion that they may be engaged in activities
which are seen to be immoral by their faith.
Although some of the
surrounding traditions of Malaysian wedding ceremonies vary from the traditions
around Arab matrimonial, the fundamental laws apply in the same ways.
This, naturally,
means that it is very difficult for the young people to actually determine
whether they really are suited sufficiently to one another. While they are able
to meet occasionally within the presence of family, courtships are often very
brief and usually consist of family meetings discussing the husband-to-be's
ability to support his future wife, a family and so on.
Internet datingwebsites, such as the well-known Alnaddy site, for instance, enable young
women and men to get together and become acquainted to each other without the
fear of immoral behavior, which is why they are widely accepted by families
as a means of finding a spouse.
