Malaysiakini sees the problem of Syariah divorce cases through the eyes of a single mother. <br /> <br />Atikah Zahar is a Singaporean woman who is seeking justice after a failed marriage to a Malaysian man whom she had been married to for six years. Just like most women, she had wished for a normal blissful marriage. <br /> <br />However, for most of the six years of marriage, she had suffered from what she alleges to be domestic violence by her husband. <br /> <br />She also claimed that her in-laws had been abusive not only verbally but also to the extent of locking her up in her own room. <br /> <br />Atikah had no other choice but to file for a divorce and fight for full custody of her son. <br /> <br />Atikah relates to Malaysiakini on her battle for her rights in the Malaysian Syariah court system. <br /> <br />Producers: Lydia Azizan & Azreen Madzlan <br />Editor: Lydia Azizan <br />Narrator: Azreen Madzlan <br />Camera: Shukri Mohamad
