Khalwat offences in Malaysia are committed when a man and a woman who are not family members, and when at least one of them is a Muslim, are caught in 'close proximity'. The couple could be in a room or in a public park.
'Muslims are sentenced in Syariah courts...but we don't have the jurisdiction to sentence non-Muslims,' Syariah Court of Appeal Judge Asri Abdullah was quoted as saying by The Star daily.
'Their non-Muslim partners can probably be sentenced in the civil courts, to be fair to both parties,' he told reporters at a seminar on reviewing syariah laws organised by Ikim and the judiciary department.
Malaysia is a Multi racial country.. if this is implemented will this not create segegration. Muslim and Non muslim will moving further apart.
