The applicant moved for retroactive and ongoing child support, section 7 expenses, a finding that the parties' Sharia Marriage Contract is enforceable, and an order compelling the respondent to grant a religious divorce.
The court ordered the respondent to pay child support arrears and ongoing support based on his 2018 income, as well as his proportionate share of section 7 expenses.
The court found the Sharia Marriage Contract to be a valid domestic contract under the Family Law Act, making the dowry an enforceable debt for equalization purposes.
Finally, the court ordered the respondent to provide the necessary consent and recitation for a Sharia divorce once initiated.
