What are the risks of marrying through an agent or syndicate at the border?

The risks are great: the marriage may be invalid, the documents may be forged, and you can still be prosecuted in Malaysia. Among the problems often reported by religious authorities:
• unaccredited officiants or 'wali hakim', when a wali by lineage exists and has not refused;
• hired witnesses who do not meet the conditions;
• forged marriage certificates not registered with the provincial Islamic Council;
• high charges with no receipt.
As a result, registration is refused, the status of the marriage and the children's lineage are called into question, and the couple must go back and forth to court. Islam requires a marriage that is clear and publicly announced. Follow the lawful procedure: polygyny procedure and syndicate marriages.
