🏛️ Polygyny: the law · #33
Where can I report a husband who has practised polygyny without permission?
Complaints are made to the Enforcement Division of the state Islamic Religious Department where the husband resides. Bring whatever information you have, such as the husband's name and identity card, details of the new wife (if known), the place and date of the marriage, and supporting documents such as a photo of the marriage certificate. Enforcement officers will investigate and, if there are grounds, the case is referred to the Syariah Prosecutor. The penalty in the Federal Territories under Act 303 section 123 is a fine of up to RM1,000 or imprisonment of up to six months or both. Besides complaining, the wife may also apply for maintenance or other rights in court. Seek counselling support.
