A Malaysian woman wants to marry a Saudi man — what approvals are needed?

The Saudi spouse must obtain special permission from the Ministry of Interior before marrying a foreigner; a ma'dhun may not solemnise a mixed marriage without that approval letter. The Ministry of Justice guideline is Ministerial Order no. 6874 (1422H). Usual conditions such as age limits and age gaps have been reported and amended from time to time (to be verified through Absher or the regional Emirate office). A Malaysian bride needs a valid wali, and must bring her birth certificate, a verified letter of single or divorced status, and a certified Arabic translation. A foreign wife's residence permit depends on the husband as sponsor. After the akad, register it again in Malaysia (Act 303 s.31). See Saudi Arabia.
