The Nurul Izzah Anwar-Raja Ahmad Shahrir Iskandar divorce case that was scheduled before the Syariah High Court in Kuala Lumpur today, has been put off to March 11.

Nurul Izzah’s lawyer Normawaddah Ramli said the two parties are still negotiating to resolve the matter amicably.

"The case has been fixed for mention on March 11," she said.

Raja Ahmad, who walked in by a side entrance (for witnesses) at 10.28am, immediately after entered judge Abdul Malek Awang's chambers with his lawyer, Muhamad Nakhaie Ishak.

Nurul Izzah submitted her application under Section 47 of the Federal Territory Islamic Family Law Act 1984 last December.

This application is not  fasakh  (annulment of marriage) as reported by some media but divorce by mutual agreement (permohonan penceraian secara baik).

It is understood that the application was made as a result of irreconcilable differences between Nurul Izzah and Raja Ahmad.

It was also learnt today that talk of Nurul Izzah withdrawing the divorce application last month is not correct as no such application has been made so far.

The couple have two children - a seven year old girl and a four year old boy.
