The increase of divorce cases that occur in Malaysia pressurizes the Shariah Court in some ways. The administration of these divorce cases needs to be administered more effectively to ensure the smoothness of each case. This study was done to investigate and identify the most registered cases in the Shariah Court in Malaysia. In addition, this study serves to identify the workflow for the newly introduced project concerning divorce cases called "the fast track". This will help to overcome the divorce case backlogs that will happen in the future. To ensure the success of this study, a number of employees has been interviewed, ranging from the judges, attorneys and assistant registrars for the Shariah Court. The results of the study showed that enactment section 47, Islamic Family Law is among the most registered cases and constantly increasing every year. The fast track is seen as a good method, but some things need to be taken care of to ensure its effectiveness. Consistent work force is also required to ensure this fast project achieves its potential in administering divorce cases in the Shariah courts.

In Malaysia, women's rights are empowered in matrimonial property as recognized by the Islamic Family Law in every state including the State of Selangor where it can be claimed by reason of divorce, polygamy or death. However, cases of matrimonial property claims are confusing to women due to several problematic factors such as lack of information, lack of awareness and lack of knowledge of their procedures and rights, thus causing them to feel persecuted by the implementation of this law. The matrimonial property claim is important because it can prove and guarantee the ownership of a woman's property during the marriage period. The purpose of this research is first, to understand women's rights in matrimonial property according to sharia, second to identify women's issues and problems in matrimonial property claims and the third objective is to analyse women's awareness of matrimonial property. This research method is based on the distribution of questionnaires through the Google Form link that has been shared and answered by women respondents in Selangor according to the level of likert scale. The findings of the data are described in a descriptive analysis of their level of awareness, knowledge and understanding in matrimonial property claims. The results of the study on the empowerment of women in matrimonial property in Selangor have shown achievements at a positive level due to good background factors and high understanding from them.

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, most jobs and transactions have been done virtually, compromising our global cyber security. Many people are unaware of this alarming situation leading them to become victims of cybercrime, especially the vulnerable groups of the elderly, children, and women. This conceptual study discusses the scammers' modus operandi for monetary deception or militants’ recruitment through love scams. The discussion then continues with the factors that lead women to become potential victims, from the personality aspects, characteristics, and impacts after being victimised. This study concludes that precautious steps are necessary to avoid becoming a potential victim of cybercrime, and coping with the aftermath is equally important.
