Marriage a lesser-known victim of the Covid-19 pandemic

GEORGE TOWN: It turned out to be a case of “till pandemic do us part”, with divorce among non- Muslim couples hitting a record high in the northern states in 2021 when Covid-19 infections were at their peak.

When the country entered the movement control order period in 2021, Kedah saw a 42.8% rise in divorces, from 336 cases in 2020 to 587 cases the next year.
