Abstract :
Having a good relationship with family members is the utmost consideration in family life. This socio-legal study focusses on the family institution, in which all family members play pivotal roles in determining the wellbeing of the family. The main objective of this study is to understand family relationships in terms of legal awareness among family members. The survey was the main method used in this study and it will be analysed using statistical techniques. The semi-structured interview was also employed in this research. The study shows that most rural folks prefer mediation in settling disputes. The findings of this research are expected to fill the gap in socio-legal literature on Muslim marriage matters and to provide valid reasons for designing a new policy and regulatory framework to deal with the implementation and enforcement of Islamic Family Law in Malaysia
