Orang Sabah bernikah di Sulu atau Mindanao — macam mana nak daftar?

Perkahwinan yang diakadkan di Mindanao atau Sulu tetapi pasangan tinggal di Sabah perlu didaftarkan di pejabat agama Islam Sabah di bawah Enakmen Undang-Undang Keluarga Islam Sabah 2004 (seksyen perlu disahkan). Dapatkan sijil nikah daripada Pendaftar Litar Syariah atau salinan PSA, bukan sekadar surat imam. Untuk didaftarkan di Malaysia, dokumen lazimnya perlu disahkan oleh Jabatan Luar Negeri Filipina (DFA) dan Kedutaan Malaysia di Manila (prosedur semasa perlu disahkan). Akad tanpa dokumen rasmi, atau tanpa wali yang sah, menyukarkan pendaftaran kelahiran anak dan pas pasangan. Jika suami sudah beristeri, kebenaran Mahkamah Syariah tetap diperlukan; jika bermastautin di Filipina, notis Art. 162 juga perlu difailkan. Lihat Filipina .

A Sabahan marries in Sulu or Mindanao: how do we register?

A marriage contracted in Mindanao or Sulu where the couple live in Sabah must be registered at the Sabah Islamic religious affairs office under the Sabah Islamic Family Law Enactment 2004 (section to be verified). Obtain a marriage certificate from the Shari'a Circuit Registrar or a PSA copy, not just a letter from the imam. To be registered in Malaysia, the documents usually need to be authenticated by the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and the Malaysian Embassy in Manila (current procedure to be verified). A contract without official documents, or without a valid wali, makes registering the child's birth and the spouse pass difficult. If the husband already has a wife, Syariah Court permission is still required; if domiciled in the Philippines, notice under Art. 162 must also be filed. See Philippines.
