What is the State Marriage Register and how it is meant to be used?
The State Marriage Register is a record of civil (i.e. non-Muslim) marriages registered under the provisions of the Women’s Charter. Please note that the State Marriage Register does not represent the validity of marriages recorded and does not reflect whether the couples are still married at the time the Register is accessed. Also, overseas marriages are not recorded in the State Marriage Register unless the parties involved voluntarily register their marriages with the Registry of Marriages (ROM) and meet the requirements for registration under the Women’s Charter.
