Since there always be difference between theory and practice, the real implementation of the decisions will also be examined on the basis of legal norms. This study directly explores the laws and Court decisions for further assessment based on several indicators. It is found that the legislation and the Court decisions of the two countries had adopted the concept of Fiqh yet with a couple of particular notes. It is also found that there is a chance of providing livelihood for illegitimate children in the law and practice of both countries.
