Step by step
Marriage guide
Two paths. The first is for a first marriage; the second for when you already have a wife. The order of the steps is the most important part.
Sekilas pandang
Laluan A
Perkahwinan kali pertama
Kursus pra-perkahwinanAmbil paling awal — sijil diperlukan dan tidak boleh dipintas.
Ujian saringan HIVKedua-dua bakal pengantin, sebelum menghantar borang.
Borang di pejabat agamaPejabat Agama Islam daerah; borang berbeza mengikut negeri.
Lengkapkan borangTandatangan wali; salinan IC, sijil kursus, laporan HIV, gambar. Surat majikan jika berkaitan.

PerbicaraanMahkamahIsteri sedia ada didengar; empat syarat dinilai.
Perintah kebenaranMahkamahJika ditolak, keputusan boleh dirayu.
Proses nikah biasa & akadKursus, HIV, borang, kebenaran — kemudian akad dengan wali, dua saksi, jurunikah.
PendaftaranTanpanya, isteri baharu bukan isteri di sisi undang-undang.
A · First marriage
Pre-marriage course Register for and attend a recognised course. You will receive a Marriage Course Certificate — it is needed at step 4 and cannot be skipped.Timing: Take it as early as possible. Course places often fill up; this is the most common cause of delay.
HIV screening test Both the prospective bride and groom. Can be done at a government health clinic.Timing: Before submitting the forms. Results usually take a few days.
Collect the forms at the religious office The district Islamic Religious Office. Forms differ by state — form codes at the counter.
Complete the forms and get the wali's signature The forms must be signed by the bride's wali. Attach copies of all parties' identity cards, the course certificate, the HIV report, and photographs.
Employer's letter of permission if applicable Members of the armed forces, the police, and certain public service positions require a letter of permission.
Submit the application Usually at the bride's district religious office. Pay the prescribed fee — .
Permission to marry issued Once approved, you receive permission and a date can be set.Timing: Varies by state —
Akad nikah With the wali, two male witnesses, and an authorised marriage officiant (jurunikah). The mahar is handed to the wife.
Registration & marriage certificate The marriage is registered and a marriage certificate is issued. Keep a copy.Timing: Immediately after the akad.
B · Subsequent marriage — polygyny
The key difference: on this path, the court comes first. Steps 1 to 7 below must be completed before the akad. Marrying first and applying later is an offence under state enactments.
Assess yourself honestly Use the affordability calculator. If the numbers are not enough today, they will not be enough after the akad.
Prepare financial documents Recent payslips, bank statements, EPF (KWSP) statement, list of debts and commitments, details of existing dependants.Timing: Start early — this is the slowest part.
Tell the existing wife Not a legal requirement, but she will be summoned to court. Hearing it from you first is far better than learning of it from a summons.
Failkan permohonan di Mahkamah Tinggi Syariah
Bukan di pejabat agama. Permohonan kebenaran poligami didengar di Mahkamah Tinggi Syariah (Arahan Amalan JKSM No. 14/2006); kesalahan poligami tanpa kebenaran pula dibicarakan di Mahkamah Rendah Syariah (Arahan Amalan No. 5/2007). Sertakan sebab "patut atau perlu" beserta dokumen sokongan.
The court sets a hearing date The existing wife is summoned to be heard. The prospective wife may also be summoned.Timing: Varies by state and caseload —
Perbicaraan
Mahkamah menilai keempat-empat syarat: patut atau perlu, kemampuan kewangan, keupayaan berlaku adil, dan ketiadaan darar syarie kepada isteri sedia ada.
Permission order If approved, you receive a court order. If refused, the decision may be appealed. Maintenance and other orders may be issued at the same time.
Only then the usual marriage process After the order is obtained: course (if not yet taken), HIV test, forms at the religious office, and permission to marry — the same as path A step 1–7.
Akad nikah Wali, two witnesses, officiant. Mahar to the new wife.
Pendaftaran
Daftar dan dapatkan sijil nikah. Tanpa ini, perkahwinan tidak diiktiraf secara rasmi — hak isteri baharu sukar dituntut sehingga ia didaftarkan atau disahkan oleh mahkamah.Masa: Segera.
Opening nights according to the sunnah Seven nights if the new wife has never been married; three nights if she has. After that, equal turns. al-Bukhari 5213 · Muslim 1461
One practical tip. Keep one file — physical or digital — containing every document, receipt and order. Most problems that reach court arise not because people are untruthful, but because they cannot prove it.
