Malaysian women caught faking divorce papers to marry lovers in Thailand
KOTA BARU: The Narathiwat Islamic Religious Council has uncovered several cases involving Malaysian women attempting to deceive its religious officers by submitting forged divorce or death certificates to marry new Malaysian partners in southern Thailand. Its deputy president Abdul Aziz Che Mamat said such cases had been detected over the past few years, with most of the individuals involved hailing from Kelantan. "We have recorded numerous instances where Malaysian women submitted falsified documents claiming they were either divorced or widowed to facilitate remarriage in southern Thailand," he said. Abdul Aziz said some women went as far as altering names and dates on official documents, including tampering with divorce certificates, to bypass the marriage vetting process. He said the council treats such matters seriously and will immediately halt the solemnisation process upon detecting any fraudulent activity. "There were cases where my officers, unaware of the deception, allowed the marriage to proceed. "However, the registration was later revoked after the actual husband came forward to confirm that he was still alive and that they were not divorced," he added. He said the Malaysian women who attempted to deceive the Narathiwat Islamic Religious Council were, in most cases, already divorced. However, some had either not yet received the official divorce certificate or had lost the documents. "These women may have been eager to marry their new partners and were willing to do whatever it took to speed up the marriage process," he said. He said it is a mandatory requirement for any Malaysian man intending to marry a divorced woman at any recognised religious office or mosque in southern Thailand to provide a copy of the divorce certificate or the death certificate of the woman's previous husband. Abdul Aziz warned that such dishonest practices could jeopardise the legal status and future of children born from these marriages, particularly in matters relating to identity documentation, citizenship, and inheritance. "These children could face complications when registering their births, enrolling in school, or proving their legitimacy later in life," he said. In response, the council has tightened procedures for cross-border marriages, especially those involving foreign nationals. He said recent efforts to curb illegal and questionable marriages have yielded positive results. "Cases involving syndicate-driven marriages and underage unions have significantly declined thanks to improved cooperation and greater awareness among couples following our outreach and educational briefings," he said. Previously, the council had dealt with numerous cases involving syndicates, underage girls, and pregnant women, he said.
