Marriage
In marriage matters, the
High Commission’s main function is to provide information and consular
assistance to a Maldivian who contracts a marriage with another
Maldivian, or a Maldives national who contracts a marriage with a
foreign national while in Malaysia. As the Ministry of Justice requires Maldivians who
contracts marriage outside the country to register their marriage
within 2 months of the date of marriage, if a representative office is
present in the country of marriage, Maldivians who contract a marriage
in Malaysia are encouraged to register their marriages within the
stipulated time.
There are specific guidelines
for marriages to be registered in the Maldives. Please email or call
the High Commission or visit Ministry of Justice website (www.justice.gov.mv) for more details.
Divorce
Cases of divorce have to be filed in the Family Court of the Maldives
Ministry of Justice. The High Commission’s role is to ensure that the
Family Courts decisions are relayed in time and accurately to the
concerned parties.
Please email or call the High Commission if you have an queries.
