MELAKA:

 The Melaka government has simplified the process for Muslims wishing to practise polygamy by reducing the approval time to 21 days, provided the application meets all requirements.

Education, higher education and religious affairs committee chairman Rahmad Mariman said this reform was implemented by the state government in collaboration with the Melaka shariah court.

“In the past, it could take months, but now we have improved the process and applications can be approved within 21 days as long as the documents are complete,” he told reporters outside the Melaka legislative assembly at Seri Negeri here today. - FMT
