Parit Buntar Syariah Court: Kerian

Which court hears your case in Parit Buntar?

The Mahkamah Rendah Syariah Parit Buntar sits at Jalan Sempadan, 34200 Parit Buntar.^[2] It hears cases under the Enakmen Keluarga Islam (Perak) 2004, the enactment shared across the state.^[1]

Its catchment is the Kerian district, which includes Bagan Serai as well as Parit Buntar town itself. This district sits at Perak’s northern edge, bordering Kedah.

What makes Parit Buntar different?

Kerian is a farming district, and its position right on the Perak-Kedah border means residents here are often closer to Kedah towns than to Ipoh. The court itself, however, only hears Perak-registered cases under Perak’s enactment.

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 Parit Buntar?

A wife whose husband has gone missing or stopped maintaining her can apply for fasakh, and a broken taklik promise supports cerai taklik at the same registry. A Sulh session runs before a contested hearing.

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

Bring your identification, marriage certificate and evidence for your ground, such as a police report for a missing husband or records showing broken taklik conditions. Living near the Kedah border does not change which documents you need or which court hears your case, since a Kerian address keeps you under Perak’s own courts. Cost and duration depend on your own case, not on how close you live to the state line. A Peguam Syarie can help you understand what your specific case will need.
