Manjung Syariah Court: Lumut, Pangkor

Which court hears your case in Manjung?

The Mahkamah Rendah Syariah Manjung sits at Jalan Lumut, 32040 Seri Manjung.^[2] It hears cases under the Enakmen Keluarga Islam (Perak) 2004, the same enactment applied across the state.^[1]

Its catchment is the coastal Manjung district, which includes the naval town of Lumut and Pangkor Island. If you live anywhere in Manjung, including Pangkor, this is your court.

What makes Manjung different?

Manjung is the only Perak district built around a working port and ferry terminal, since Pangkor Island residents rely on a boat crossing to reach the mainland court. Plan hearing dates around the ferry timetable rather than assuming same-day travel is simple.

If your safety is at risk, call Talian Kasih at 15999 before you deal with the court.

Which route applies, and where to go next in Manjung?

A wife ready to redeem her marriage can apply for khuluk here, and one whose husband has failed her can apply for fasakh at the same registry. A Sulh session is held before either goes to a full hearing.

For Perak’s other courts, see the Perak Syariah divorce guide.

What should you prepare, and what does it cost in Manjung?

Bring your identification, marriage certificate and evidence for your ground, plus proof of any assessed iwadh discussion if you are pursuing khuluk. If you are travelling from Pangkor Island, plan your ferry timing around the Sulh and hearing dates the court sets, since the registry itself does not adjust for island travel. Cost and duration depend on your own case, not on whether you live on the mainland or the island. A Peguam Syarie can help you plan both the paperwork and the travel.

Common questions

I live on Pangkor Island, do I file my case in Seri Manjung?

Yes. Pangkor Island is part of the Manjung district, so a case from there is filed at the Mahkamah Rendah Syariah Manjung in Seri Manjung. Plan your travel around the ferry schedule for hearing dates.

Is this the same court that serves the Lumut naval base area?

Yes. Lumut town falls within the Manjung district, so it shares this one court with Seri Manjung and the rest of the district.

Does living on an island give me more time to respond to a filing?

No. The court sets its own timelines regardless of how you travel to reach it. If distance is a genuine issue, raise it with the registry or your Peguam Syarie early.
