At times, the husband and wife encounter challenges in navigating their relationship smoothly due to past unfortunate incidents. These may involve accusations of mistreatment, coercion, and abuse, which the accused party denies. In such situations, seeking impartial adjudication can prove beneficial.

During the adjudication process, both spouses will convene with a scholar well-versed in Islamic Law, a legal professional with experience in the NZ legal system (such as a lawyer or barrister), and an unbiased community representative. Together, this panel will assess the evidence and reach a formal decision. This process aids the couple in resolving lingering historical issues that they have struggled to address independently.
