Oleh yang demikian, kajian ini dibuat bagi melihat sejauhmana tahap kefahaman wanita terhadap hak harta sepencarian selepas perceraian. Kajian ini melibatkan seramai 384 orang responden yang dipilih secara rawak berstrata daripada penduduk wanita di daerah Kuala Langat. Kajian ini berbentuk kajian tinjauan dengan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif. Manakala proses pengutipan data dilakukan melalui edaran borang soal selidik.

Hasil kajian menunjukkan tahap kefahaman wanita di daerah Kuala Langat terhadap hak harta sepencarian selepas perceraian berada pada tahap yang tinggi dengan nilai skor min = 2.71. Kajian ini dapat memberi implikasi kepada agensi- agensi yang terlibat dalam membantu meningkatkan tahap kefahaman kepada lebih ramai lagi wanita terhadap hak harta sepencarian selepas perceraian di tempat lain.
