Popis:	This article intends to explore the punishment meted under the law relating to domestic violence in Malaysia. The investigation extended to an analysis with the need to implement and introduce community service as a form of punishment for domestic violence offences. A comparative legal research methodology is employed in comparing the positions in Malaysia and certain selected jurisdiction. It is expected that the findings of this paper will look into the need to introduce and implement community service as a form of punishment which will optimisticallyencourage repentance by the offender and preserve the sanctity of marriage. Community service as a form of punishment will be a great intervention that will more likely emphasize the responsibility of the wrongdoer in healing a family relationship. The article seeks to suggest legislative reforms which will involve a comparative study of other comparable jurisdictions.
