520 |a This paper examines the conflict within the Hadrami Arab community in Malaya regarding the law of kafā’a (compatibility, equality) in Muslim marriage. The historical background and social stratification of the Hadrami Arabs who divided themselves into sayyids and non-sayyids will be discussed. The sayyids claim superiority over non-sayyids because of their purported descent from the Prophet Muhammad, but the non-sayyids refused to recognize them on the basis of the contradiction (based on the principle of equality in Islam). The doctrine of kafā’a upheld by the sayyids prohibited their daughters from marrying people from a non-sayyid family due to the latter’s inferior social status. This paper discusses several issues involving the opinions of the four Sunni schools of jurisprudence on kafā’a, the principle of equality in Islam as well as court decisions on forced marriage due to non compatibility factor.
