Berapa umur minimum untuk berkahwin bagi orang Islam di Malaysia?

Bagi orang Islam di Malaysia, umur minimum lazimnya 18 tahun bagi lelaki dan 16 tahun bagi perempuan ; di bawah umur tersebut memerlukan kebenaran Hakim Syarie. Syarak sendiri tidak menetapkan umur tertentu, tetapi menekankan kematangan ( rusyd ) dan kemampuan memikul tanggungjawab (4:6), manakala pemerintah berhak menetapkan had demi kemaslahatan (4:59). Undang-undang keluarga Islam negeri menetapkan had umur ini sebagai langkah perlindungan, dan beberapa negeri telah atau sedang mengetatkan syarat perkahwinan bawah umur. Mahkamah akan menilai kematangan, kesihatan, persekolahan dan kebajikan pemohon. Oleh sebab peruntukan berbeza antara negeri dan boleh dipinda, sila rujuk enakmen negeri anda atau laman Negeri .

What is the minimum age of marriage for Muslims in Malaysia?

For Muslims in Malaysia, the minimum age is usually 18 for men and 16 for women; below that age requires the permission of a Syariah Judge.
The Shariah itself sets no particular age, but stresses maturity (rushd) and the ability to bear responsibility (4:6), while the authorities have the right to set limits for the public good (4:59). State Islamic family laws set these age limits as a protective measure, and several states have tightened or are tightening the conditions for underage marriage. The court will assess the applicant's maturity, health, schooling and welfare. Because provisions differ between states and can be amended, please consult your state enactment or States page.
