Married abroad: how do I register in Malaysia?

Malaysians who marry abroad must register the marriage at the state religious affairs office (or through the Malaysian embassy/consulate in that country) within the period set by the state Enactment, usually six months. Usual documents: the endorsed foreign marriage certificate, passports, proof of the wali and witnesses, and a confirmation letter from the local religious authority. If the marriage is polygynous without court permission, it can be registered after the court process and penalty, because polygyny without permission is an offence. Registration matters for the child's lineage, inheritance and the wife's rights. See marriage abroad and state religious affairs office.
