🏛️ Polygyny: the law · #135
I found that my signature was forged on a letter consenting to polygyny. What do I do?
Report it immediately to the Syariah Court handling the case and make a police report. Making a false statement to obtain permission to marry is an offence under Islamic family law, and forging a signature is also a criminal offence. Get a copy of the document submitted and show examples of your real signature, such as on your MyKad or bank documents. Tell the judge clearly that you never consented. Allah says: “O you who believe, fear Allah and speak words that are right (true)” (Surah al-Ahzab 33:70). A Syarie lawyer or the Legal Aid Bureau can help you. See the first wife's consent.
