Debate on the Domestic Violence Act (Amendments) 2017 bill
On July 15, 2017 during the debate tabling on the Domestic Violence Act (Amendments) 2017 bill in the Dewan Rakyat, Jusoh remarked that wives withholding sex from their husbands or the right to marry another woman should be considered a Sharia-related crime or marital offence which is brought by emotional and psychological abuse.
