The updated Constitution introduced several democratic reforms, such as the establishment of independent institutions, the protection of human rights, the introduction of a multi-party system, and the strengthening of the rule of law. Mainly fair and transparent hearings and fair administrative action. These reforms have allowed the Maldives to achieve a more open and transparent government. Nevertheless, since 2008 many cases ruled by Maldivian military judicators have been acquitted by the Maldivian civil justice system, which includes trial courts, the high court, and the supreme court. The civil justice system has determined that the military judicators have not followed due process, and thus the cases have been overturned. Additionally, the civil justice system has implemented several reforms and safeguards to ensure all citizens have access to a fair trial. This resulted in prejudice against military justice in the army. The primary goal of the military judicator is to maintain good order and discipline in the army, as discipline is the sole of every army. Therefore, this article thoroughly analyzes the unconstitutional limitations on constitutional rights by the Maldivian military judiciaries and the legal implications that follow. It emphasizes the crucial significance of maintaining the rule of law, promoting good governance, ensuring military justice, and preserving national stability. Furthermore, it draws insightful comparisons between Malaysia and other relevant jurisdictions.</p> Abdul Majeed Ibrahim Md Zahidul Islam Copyright (c) 2023 Abdul Majeed Ibrahim, Md Zahidul Islam http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2023-10-01 2023-10-01 9 3 1 18 10.55327/jaash.v9i3.310 https://aarcentre.com/ojs3/index.php/jaash/article/view/311 <p>Bangladesh declared its independence from Pakistan on March 26, 1971. Prior to that, in the year 1947, the Indian sub-continent acquired freedom from the British Colonial and was divided into two countries, India and Pakistan. In the same year Pakistan was further divided into two parts namely West Pakistan and East Pakistan. After a nine-month fight between East Pakistan and West Pakistan, the latter achieved independence and sovereignty as Bangladesh. From the historical background, Bangladesh practices dowry as a traditional culture in few decades.&nbsp; Dowry in Bangladesh is well known as ‘<em>Joutuk</em>’.&nbsp; Though dowry is not allowed in <em>Sharīʻah, </em>personal law or any other laws of the state, but it’s now practised in Bangladesh as like mandatory obligation of the society. Despite of its prohibition by Dowry Prohibition Act,1980 (amended 2018) practicing of dowry is day by day increasing due to non-enforcement of the laws and in some cases, it is found that due to incapability of the bride family to pay dowry grooms tortured their wife. Hence, there is a common perception of the public that there will be no marriage without dowry. This paper is an effort to highlight the issues on dowry violence’s which caused a huge number of women lives as well as their families in depressing situation in Bangladesh.Finally, this paper proposes a mechanism on how to practically address the issue.</p> Md Kalim Uddin Copyright (c) 2023 Md Kalim Uddin http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2023-10-01 2023-10-01 9 3 19 30 10.55327/jaash.v9i3.311
