  1. Asalaam_alikum,

    Belated EID Greeting from Kashmir, Hope you are doin good, I need some help from you, I am from Kashmir, & am planning to get married to my GF in brunei( my GF is from malaysia) can you please send the the process and procedures of getting married in brunei( We both are muslims)

    Wasalaaam,

  2. Alaikumsalam Mohd Rouf. Err, ok yours maybe an emergency; afterall marriage should be hasten. I took the liberty of calling the Brunei’s Syariah Department which handles marriage, divorce and family matters.

    The answer was that you both need to get permission from your own country to get married in Brunei, and should also state that you both are single.

    If your gf’s wali is able to come all the way to Brunei to give hand to the marriage, that’s fine. If not, she should provide a letter from her wali stating that the wali is allowing a Syariah judge to be the wali instead (should also mention names here). Once all these letters are in hand, application can be made to the Syariah Department in Bandar Seri Begawan. You both need to fill in forms, etc. Please find out more by calling them in person at +673 2221600.

    Congratulations in advance on your wedding.
