How do I interpret the marriage record search outcome?

Question

Accepted Answer

When a marriage record search indicates 'No record is found', this means that there is no record of marriage matching the information entered. It does not mean that a person is unmarried. He/she may already validly be married under the law of another country. Overseas marriages are not captured in Register of Muslim marriages kept by the Registrar of Muslim Marriages.

Where a search indicates 'Record is found', this means that a record of marriage matching the information entered has been found. It does not mean that a person is still married. He/ she may already be divorced, widowed or the marriage may have been annulled.
