Bolehkah saya nikah di Thailand untuk elak proses poligami di Malaysia?

Nikah di Thailand tidak melepaskan anda daripada undang-undang Malaysia. Warganegara Malaysia yang beragama Islam tetap tertakluk kepada enakmen negeri tempat dia bermastautin. Jika anda sudah beristeri dan bernikah di Thailand tanpa kebenaran Mahkamah Syariah, anda boleh didakwa atas kesalahan berpoligami tanpa kebenaran apabila memohon pendaftaran nikah itu di Malaysia (contohnya Akta 303, s.123: denda hingga RM1,000 atau penjara hingga enam bulan atau kedua-duanya). Nikah sempadan juga berisiko dengan sindiket, wali yang tidak sah dan dokumen palsu, yang boleh menimbulkan keraguan tentang sahnya nikah. Kami tidak menggalakkan cara ini. Ikuti prosedur poligami dan baca halaman Thailand .

Can I marry in Thailand to avoid the polygyny process in Malaysia?

Marrying in Thailand does not release you from Malaysian law. Muslim Malaysian citizens remain subject to the Enactment of the state where they are domiciled. If you already have a wife and marry in Thailand without Syariah Court permission, you may be charged with the offence of polygyny without permission when you apply to register that marriage in Malaysia (for example Act 303, s.123: a fine of up to RM1,000 or imprisonment of up to six months or both). Border marriages also carry risks of syndicates, invalid wali and forged documents, which can cast doubt on the validity of the marriage. We do not encourage this route. Follow the polygyny procedure and read the Thailand page.
