Summary: | The conciliatory bodies appointed under section 106 of the
Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) 1976 Act are not
effective while, the existing legal provisions concerning
reconciliation process are not adequate to reconcile the
matrimonial disputes of non-Muslims. This paper starts with
the interpretation on descriptive statistics of demographic
characteristics of the respondents, followed by test of the
knowledge of the respondents on the law, satisfaction of the
respondents with the process of reconciliation and lastly, on
the outcome of the process. Every part of the questionnaires
was tested by using the normality test to determine if a data
set is well-modelled by a normal distribution. The statistical
methods employed in this study range from frequency
distribution, descriptive statistics, and non-parametric
analysis. The finding shows that although the respondents are quite satisfied with the reconciliation session, but it still fails to reconcile the disputing parties. Suggestions for improvement of the existing practice are also discussed. |
