🏛️ Polygyny: the law · #38
Does polygyny in Brunei require permission?
Yes, polygyny in Brunei is regulated by the country's Islamic family law. The main law is the Emergency (Islamic Family Law) Order 1999, which governs marriage procedure, including the marriage of a man who already has a wife. Applicants must go through the Syariah Court or Brunei's religious authorities and meet the set conditions. We do not list section details here because the procedure and amendments can change. Bruneian citizens or residents, including Malaysians who wish to marry there, should consult Brunei's State Judiciary Department or Syariah Affairs Department for current requirements. Malaysians remain subject to their own state Enactment. See Brunei.
