KUALA TERENGGANU, MALAYSIA: So who is her husband? The syariah high court here fixed June 4 to determine the marital status of a woman, who said she remarried believing she had been divorced.

The outcome of the cerai taklik (utterance of divorce) had in actual fact not been decided upon by the syariah court.

Judge Sheikh Ahmad Sheikh Ismail will allow Siti Fatimah Yacob, 47, to present witnesses to confirm her marriage application and the divorce issued by the Songkhla Religious Department in Thailand.

Siti Fatimah applied to the court to file her first marriage documents and to study the documents relating to her second marriage.

Siti Fatimah married Wan Yusof Long, from Kampung Sekati Manir, in 2005 following the death of her first husband.

On March 28, she married Muhamad Abdullah @ Mihandher Singh in the belief the divorce Wan Yusof had applied for at the Songkhla Religious Department was finalised.

When Wan Yusof found out about her remarriage, he lodged a police report and filed a complaint with the state Religious Affairs Department, stating she was his legal wife as the divorce had not been finalised.
