Hi,I have question and hope answer from you. The question is...If a non muslim married person from outside malaysia convert to islam but his/her wife/husband is not signing on divorce paper.In other words he or she is not yet divorced but he or she want divorce but cant get divorce. Can he or she marry to a muslim man or woman in Malaysia without divorce?. The point is that he or she is a foreigner but is not divorced yet ,,can he or she marry in malaysia to any muslim? . Actually i am a pakistani man and i make a Taiwani girl muslim by preaching and i want to marry her now but his non muslim(Buddhist) husband is not signing on divorce paper. So we are planning to get marry in malaysia and bring her to pakistan with me for whole life,as i cant go to taiwan direct and she cant come to pakistan direct due to some reasons. So please i need help. Hope you will reply me.

Re: Marriage

When she accepts Islam, Islamic personal Law will be applicable for her. And according to Islamic Law, as she embraces Islam, she is automatically seperated from the non-muslim husband. But what u have to do now is to go to the Court and get divorce certificate and after the Iddat period you can make a marriage contract.
