Perlis has issued an edict (fatwa) encouraging wives to leave the marital home if they feel their well-being is in jeopardy.

"The fatwa is to avoid injustice towards women/wives.

"Many wives allow themselves to be abused, by saying the religion does not allow them to leave the marital home even when they are in danger," Perlis mufti Asri Zainul Abidin said today.

The fatwa was issued by the Perlis Fatwa Council following their meeting on Dec 20-21 last year.
