KUALA LUMPUR – Marriage ceremonies for non-Muslims can be held at National Registration Department (NRD) offices, houses of worship and religious association premises in areas under the movement control order (MCO), conditional MCO (CMCO) and recovery MCO (RMCO) effective today.
NRD, in a statement, said this will enable postponed weddings to be conducted.
“The decision was made at a meeting chaired by (Senior Minister) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
“Marriage ceremonies in areas under the enhanced MCO are still not allowed.”
The department said it has updated and improved the standard operating procedures for non-Muslim weddings, including no more than 10 people, including the registrar, during marriage registration at NRD offices.
Ceremonies at houses of worship and religious association premises in MCO areas cannot have more than 10 guests, CMCO (20) and RMCO (30).
“However, the SOPs are subject to the size of the premises.”
NRD said no social events are allowed during the marriage registration. – Bernama, February 26, 2021
