Feedback & support

Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

Every reference in this Act to a “Magistrate’s Court”

in the case of an application for maintenance relating to a

Muslim who is governed by the provisions of the Muslim

Marriage and Divorce Act (Chapter 115), shall be read and construed as a reference to the relevant Quazi appointed under that Act.
