Fast and Quick Divorce for non-Muslims in Malaysia (via Divorce by Mutual Consent)
How do you get a fast and quick divorce in Malaysia when your marriage breaks down? The answer is by filing a joint divorce petition to the High Court of Malaya.
In Malaysia, there is no "automatic divorce", regardless of how long you have separated from your partner. In order to get a proper divorce, the only way is to file a divorce petition at the High Court of Malaya under the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976 (Act 164) for an order of divorce. Thereafter, the divorce order will have to be submitted to the JPN for the update of marital status.
In order to get a fast divorce in Malaysia, you will need to fulfil ALL of the following non-exhaustive and general requirements in order to file a joint divorce petition: -
If you fulfill ALL of the above pre-conditions, then you may be able to apply for and obtain the divorce order fast and quick. However, if you do not fulfil ANY of the above pre-conditions, kindly contact us so that we can assess your matter and provide the necessary legal advice.
