PersonaCouples Planning for Divorce

The registration process of an Islamic divorce varies by state. Registration is only possible after the divorce is confirmed by the Syariah Court.

The following is the process of registering a Muslim couple's divorce.

Register at the State Islamic Religious Department

After receiving a Divorce Order from the Syariah Court, the divorcing party must go to the State Islamic Religious Department to:

• Registering a divorce officially
• Obtaining an Islamic divorce certificate (original and copy)
• Cancelling the original marriage certificate

You can also register online or go directly to the district religious office for states that do not have an online system.

For Muslims whose spouse passed away, he or she must also register their marriage status at the religious office.
