#SHOWBIZ: Dr Rushdi rejects Nora's divorce application
SHAH ALAM: The Petaling Syariah Lower Court has set June 4 as the next mention date in the divorce proceedings between singer Datuk Nora Ariffin and her husband, Dr Rushdi Ramli.
Nora's lawyer, Sarah Mohd Ali, informed the court that the second mention is to facilitate the appointment of a Conciliation Committee (JKP), following Rushdi's refusal to grant Nora a divorce during today's hearing.
"Dr Rushdi rejected the divorce application at this stage. Therefore, the court has scheduled a second mention for June 4, to initiate the JKP process," Sarah told reporters outside the Petaling Syariah Lower Court.
"However, Rushdi did not specify his reasons for opposing the divorce," she added.
The court will now proceed with the process outlined in Section 47 of the Islamic Family Law Enactment (Selangor) 2003.
If the JKP process proves unsuccessful, the case will move forward to the hakam stage.
Earlier today, Nora, whose full name is Wan Norafizah Ariffin, and Rushdi, represented by syariah lawyer Azmi Mohd Rais, made separate appearances in court for the initial mention of their divorce application.
Nora filed for divorce on April 21, citing an irreconcilable breakdown of the marriage.
Nora and Rushdi, a senior lecturer in the Department of Fiqh and Usul at a local university, confirmed their marriage in late 2021.
Nora was previously married to composer Johan Nawawi in 1992.
They had four children together. Johan Nawawi passed away on March 24, 2017, at the age of 52, due to a heart attack.

Compiled by RAHIMY RAHIM, C. ARUNO and R. ARAVINTHAN ACTOR Aeril Zafrel ( pic, above ) claims that a crew member became possessed after chanting a mysterious mantra while shooting a supernatural film, reported Mingguan Malaysia . 'I was informed that the mantra written in the script was a real one. 'While I was reciting it, a crew member actually became possessed. 'Thankfully, the production team had made preparations by having an ustaz on set,' said Aeril. Before filming began, he had also made some personal preparations to 'protect' himself. 'The ustaz asked me to recite certain verses for protection. 'He also reassured me by saying that these 'things' cannot harm or control us. They have their own limits,' added Aeril. 'It would be a lie to say nothing strange happened. 'At one point, I could really feel a presence with me. Some places on set felt extremely eerie. 'The entity even gave a sign that it didn't allow us to film there, so we had to move to a different location,' said Aeril. > Actress Nora Danish revealed that her dream to perform the haj was dashed after falling victim to an online scam, reported Sinar Ahad . 'I was ready, but the call to be God's guest has yet to come,' the star of television drama Puteri shared, adding that she has accepted the fact that she will not be going this year. 'Perhaps this is not the right time. 'Who knows, perhaps I will be able to perform my haj with my future husband,' she said. Nora, whose real name is Nora Mohd Danish Hanif, 43, said she saw the setback as a challenge and a chance for her to reflect on herself. In a separate matter, Nora quashed talk that she was getting back with her ex-husband Mohamad Nedim Nazri. 'Nedim and I can no longer live as husband and wife, but we still maintain a good relationship as mother and father to (our son) Neqayl. 'I understand that in this world, we may need a partner, but I don't think I will get back with Nedim,' she added. Nora and Nedim were married on March 30, 2017, and divorced on June 16 last year.
