SHAH ALAM, July 3 — Marriage solemnisation (akad nikah) ceremonies for Muslim couples will still be performed during the enhanced movement control order (EMCO) period that begins today.
In a posting on Facebook yesterday, Jais informed the event will still use the rules and requirements it had set earlier, in accordance with the standard operating procedure (SOP).
The latest information will be announced from time to time and for enquiries contact 03-5514 3400/3600 or email buuk@jais.gov.my.
On June 25, Jais allowed akad nikah ceremonies for Muslim couples to be performed in person again starting July 1, but only at Jais office and District Religious Offices (Paid) from Monday to Friday.
Couples also need to get an appointment date for the event and the number of attendees is limited only to the groom, bride and the bride’s ‘wali’ or guardian.
Jais said the groom, bride and wali must also take the Real-Time Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) tests 72 hours (3 days) before the event.
