  • Title: Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) (Amendment) Act, 1986 (No. A650).
    Author: Malaysia.
    Journal: Annu Rev Popul Law; 1989; 16():58. PubMed ID: 12344476.
    Abstract:
    This Act amends the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act, 1976, to prohibit polygamous marriages contracted outside of Malaysia. The law was enacted following the decision in P.P. v. Rajappan, which held that the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act, 1976, prohibited only polygamous marriages contracted within Malaysia. Section 494 of the Penal Code has also been amended to ensure that entering into a polygamous marriage, no matter where, is a crime.
