Abstract

Conflict in marriage is part of the process that helps couples to be
more mature in their marital life. However, it tends to be the source of
marital breakdown if not dealt with wisely. In many situations, women
are always victims to this break up.This paper will analyze the types of
marital problems which had been faced by Muslim Malay women. Files
of family cases at the Counselling Unit of the State Islamic Religion
Departments had been referred to obtain the data particularly the
demographic background of couples and also the information regarding
the problems that lead them to the Counselling Unit. This research
which had been carried out in three states identified more than 40 types
of cases that had been reported by women.
