Parliament's Gavaaidhu Committee has decided to discuss the revision of child support allowances with the Ministry of Social and Family Development, Family Court, and an NGO. The proposal, brought forward by member of Parliament, Mohamed Ibrahim, highlights concerns over the adequacy of current financial provisions, which are set at MVR 2,000 per month for one child and MVR 1,000 for each additional child. Issues such as insufficient funds to cover school fees and delays in court proceedings for single parents were cited as major concerns.
