KUALA TERENGGANU: The Syariah High Court here yesterday fixed Nov 5 for decision on a grandmother’s marriage with her second husband three years ago.

Justice Shaikh Ahmad Ismail set the date after allowing the application by Siti Fatimah Yaacob’s lawyer, Anuwar Mohd, who wanted to file a written submission.

The submission pertaining to consent to marriage, ‘iddah’ (grace period after a divorce) and ‘tafriq’ (separation order) is to be made before next Wednesday.

Fatimah, 47, who has two grandchildren, married Wan Yosof Long, 63, in Sept 2005 in Besut using an unauthorised ‘jurunikah’ (marriage official) and later obtained a letter of evidence of marriage from the Songkla Islamic Religious Council.

Two years later, Fatimah sought a divorce through the Songkla Islamic Religious Authority.

In March this year, she married a Pakistani man.

Following this, Wan Yosof filed an application at the Syariah High Court here to certify his marriage with Fatimah.

Present in court was her third husband although the court had ordered their separation pending the disposal of Wan Yosof application.
