Yesterday, a labourer was sentenced to 30 days in jail at the Hulu Terengganu Syariah Subordinate Court for failing to pay alimony to his six children amounting to RM11,000.
According to Harian Metro, the decision was made by Judge Syarie Nik Mohd Shahril Irwan Mat Yusof after the accused, Diang Abd Ghani, 54, was found guilty under Section 181 of the Civil Procedure Enactment of the Syariah Court (Terengganu) for failing to pay child support to his ex-wife.
10 years ago, on April 21, 2010, the court ordered the man to pay alimony to his six children of RM300 per month.
The father of six failed to pay the alimony causing it to be in arrears of up to RM11,000.
On Feb 19, the court ordered him to appear in court after his ex-wife filed a notice of judgement.
However, the man failed to appear before the court. As a result, a warrant was issued.
The man was arrested on December 15 before he was arraigned in court.
