Syariah Divorce Court in Maran
You live in Maran and want to know where your Syariah divorce case is filed.
Where is the Syariah court for Maran?
The Mahkamah Rendah Syariah Maran sits at Lot 10002, Jalan Sri Keramat, 26500 Maran.[1] It hears cases for the whole of Maran district, including the cluster of Jengka FELDA settlements that sit within its boundaries rather than under a separate court.
Maran falls under the Temerloh seat of Pahang’s Mahkamah Tinggi Syariah, together with Temerloh, Bera and Jerantut.[2] That link matters only if your claim moves up to the high court.
What makes Maran’s court different?
Maran developed around the FELDA land schemes that opened up much of this part of Pahang, including the well-known Jengka group of settlements. That history shapes the district’s population, which is spread across smaller planned communities rather than one dense town.
The court sits along the main corridor linking Kuantan to central Malaysia, so it is reasonably easy to reach for residents from the surrounding FELDA areas as well as Maran town itself.
Which divorce route should you file in Maran?
If your husband has disappeared or stopped supporting you, fasakh is usually the starting point. A broken taklik promise points to cerai taklik, and couples who agree to part can consider khuluk. Most cases open with a Sulh session before any hearing.
After the divorce, and Maran’s place in Pahang
Once your case is recorded, maintenance, custody and property claims can follow at the same Maran court, including a hadhanah claim over the children.
The Pahang guide sets out how Maran fits with Temerloh, Bera and Jerantut under the Temerloh seat.

Common questions
I live in one of the Jengka FELDA schemes. Do I file in Maran?
Yes. The Jengka settlements sit within Maran district rather than under a separate court, so residents there file at the Mahkamah Rendah Syariah Maran on Jalan Sri Keramat.
Do I need to travel to Temerloh for a Maran case?
Not for the subordinate court. Filing, Sulh and the hearing happen at the Maran court. Temerloh only comes in if your case is heard at the high court level.
Is Maran's court close to the Kuantan-KL highway?
Maran town sits along the main road corridor linking Kuantan and central Malaysia, which makes the court reasonably accessible for residents along that route, including those from the Jengka area.
