Pandangan Hukum Syarak : Cerai Taklik Pilihan Kepada Isteri Sekiranya Suami Berpoligami

Short answer
The Selangor Fatwa Committee resolved that Section 22 of the Islamic Family Law (State of Selangor) Enactment 2003, on entries in the Marriage Register, already covers the matter of taklik in Islamic marriage.

Summary
The Selangor Fatwa Committee resolved that Section 22 of the Islamic Family Law (State of Selangor) Enactment 2003, on entries in the Marriage Register, already covers the matter of taklik in Islamic marriage. Therefore, amending the law to add this taklik divorce pronouncement is not required. The decision was made at a meeting on 2 July 2019.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sehubungan itu, sebarang pindaan undang-undang bagi tujuan penambahan lafaz cerai taklik ini tidak diperlukan.
