Mahkamah Syariah Sik: inland Kedah district
You live in Sik and want to know your Syariah court for your Kedah case.
Which court hears your case in Sik?
The Mahkamah Rendah Syariah Sik sits in Sik, 08200 Sik.[2] It hears cases under the Enakmen Undang-Undang Keluarga Islam (Kedah Darul Aman) 2008, the enactment shared across the state.[1]
Its catchment is the Sik district, Kedah’s main inland area, without a coastline, and home to the Ulu Muda forest reserve and dam.
What makes Sik different?
Most of Kedah’s districts sit on the coastal plain, but Sik is landlocked and surrounded by forest reserve land. Its population and court caseload are smaller than Kedah’s coastal and urban districts.

Which route applies, and where to go next in Sik?
A wife ready to redeem her marriage can apply for khuluk, and one whose husband has failed her can apply for fasakh at the same registry. A Sulh session is held before a contested case is heard.
For Kedah’s other courts, see the Kedah Syariah divorce guide.
What should you prepare, and what does it cost in Sik?
Bring your identification, marriage certificate and evidence for your ground, such as proof of an agreed iwadh for khuluk or records tied to your husband’s failure to maintain you. Being an inland, forested district does not change the documents you need or the Sulh and hearing steps you will follow. Cost and duration depend on your own case, not on Sik’s rural setting. A Peguam Syarie can help you plan what to bring.
Common questions
Is Sik far from Kedah’s coastal towns?
Yes, Sik is an inland district, unlike coastal areas such as Yan or Kuala Muda. It has its own Mahkamah Rendah Syariah, so residents do not need to travel to a coastal town to file.
Does Sik’s location near the Ulu Muda forest reserve affect the court process?
No. The court applies the same Enakmen Undang-Undang Keluarga Islam (Kedah Darul Aman) 2008 as every other Kedah district, regardless of the surrounding terrain.
Is the Sik court a full-service registry, like Kota Setar?
It is a smaller district registry, sized for Sik’s population, but it still handles filing, Sulh and hearings for cases from this district.
