Good and bad news for first wives of polygamous Muslims


ALOR SETAR: The state will inform first wives if their Muslim husbands marry again out of the country, but their consent or approval will not be needed for those marriages to be legalised.

This is part of the state’s legalisation programme for Kedah Muslim men who tied the knot in Thailand or other countries and did not register their union on returning.
