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.
