KPWKM will assess assistance for children in a Terengganu case where a woman allegedly has two husbands, pending a full report from state religious authorities
KUCHING: The Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM) will prioritise the welfare of children involved in a case of a Terengganu woman who allegedly has two husbands.
Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said she would obtain detailed information to assess the form of assistance that could be provided.
“I arrived late last night from Turkmenistan, and I have yet to receive detailed information,” she told reporters after a welfare programme here today.
She stated the case is being handled by the Terengganu Islamic Religious Affairs Department and falls under state religious jurisdiction.
Nancy stressed the ministry would examine the matter once a full report is received to determine appropriate steps to assist the children.
“Matters related to religion and the law will be referred to the relevant ministries and agencies,” she added.
Earlier, Kelantan media reported a woman had exposed her sister-in-law’s actions.
The sister-in-law allegedly married again in Thailand in November last year while still legally married.
The woman claimed her brother had been deceived by his wife. – Bernama
