Sex outside marriage is a crime under Malaysia's sharia laws.Malaysia has a dual sharia-common law system.While the sharia regime applies to Muslims, non-Muslims have found themselves caught in the sharia net.
Meanwhile in Australia the adoption of a sharia system within the common law seems to have found favour from the former President of the Court of Appeal NSW, the current Governor of NSW, Her Excellency Margaret Beazley AO. Her speech remains on the NSW Supreme Court website.She has stated:
"...despite a perception that Islam and the Australian law are incompatible, this is not borne out by the caselaw"
In the interest of objectivity, the NSW Supreme Court website should include a reference to this story and other material (and there is plenty that one can find in refereed journals by actual Muslim scholars) that can be read together with Her Excellency's speech.

The Kajang police chief related that prior to intercourse, the woman had told the foreigner they could have sex provided they used a condom. However, he ripped it off midway through the act.
“Investigations found the woman made the police report for fear of contracting HIV and feeling cheated by the man.
“The case will be referred to the Selangor Islamic Religious Department,” he said in a statement.
Malay Mail has contacted the Selangor Islamic authority for comment.
