COMMENT | In light of the recent case of the first woman in Terengganu to be sentenced to caning for “khalwat” , we express deep concern regarding the implementation of syariah law, particularly in how it corresponds with the core tenets of fundamental human rights. The harmony between religious decrees and universal human rights is paramount, and any misalignment is a matter of serious consequences as seen in recent cases.
Article 8 of the Federal Constitution guarantees the right to equality, yet the dual legal system in place has led to perceived disparities in the treatment of Muslim and non-Muslim women. This raises questions about the fairness and uniformity of justice administered under such a system.Furthermore, Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights unequivocally prohibits torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment.
