Syariah Divorce Court in Raub

Where is the Syariah court for Raub?

The Mahkamah Rendah Syariah Raub sits on Jalan Bukit Koman, 27600 Raub.^[1] It hears cases for the whole of Raub district on its own.

Raub falls under the Bentong seat of Pahang’s Mahkamah Tinggi Syariah, together with Bentong and Cameron Highlands.^[2] Bentong, not Kuantan, is the relevant high court if your case ever needs to move up.

What makes Raub’s court different?

Raub grew as a gold-mining town in the nineteenth century, and that history still shapes the older parts of the district around the town centre. Its population today is smaller than the districts to the east.

The court still runs the complete process locally, from filing through Sulh to a hearing, so residents rarely need to travel outside Raub district for a subordinate-court matter.

Which divorce route should you file in Raub?

A wife whose husband broke a taklik condition can look at cerai taklik first. Where the husband has disappeared or stopped providing maintenance, fasakh tends to fit better. Couples who agree to separate have khuluk as an option, and a Sulh session opens most cases before any hearing.

After the divorce, and Raub’s place in Pahang

Once your divorce is recorded, maintenance, custody and property claims can be raised at the same Raub court, including a mutaah claim where the divorce was without just cause.

The Pahang guide explains how Raub sits alongside Bentong, Lipis and Cameron Highlands under the Bentong seat.
