Section 107

Every court which grants a decree of divorce or annulment shall forthwith send one certified true copy of the decree to the Registrar

General for registration.

Where a marriage which is solemnized in Malaysia is dissolved or annulled by a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction outside

Malaysia, either of the parties may apply to the Registrar General for the registration of such decree and the Registrar General, on being satisfied that the decree is one which should be recognised as valid for the purposes of the law of Malaysia, shall register that decree.

Where a decree of divorce or annulment, wherever granted, has dissolved a marriage which was solemnized in Malaysia and which has been registered under this Act or any written law in force immediately before the coming into force of this Act, the Registrar General shall, on registering such decree, cause the entry in the register of marriage relating to that marriage to be marked with the word “Dissolved” and a reference to the proceedings in which that decree was granted.
