Abstract
Marriage is a sacred bond, a tie between a man and a woman. Such relationship is blessed by Allah
as it is mentioned in the Quran and the tradition (Sunnah) of the Prophet (pbuh). The laws created by man
are meant to streamline the conduct of marriage, apart from the already provided hukm laid down in
Islam. However, there are people who tend to violate these laws due to their own ignorance and this
violation affects the future of such marriage and as well other people who are attached to it. Cross-border
marriage is a marriage without permission from the registrar of marriage in each States and its
solemnisation can be contracted in Malaysia or outside Malaysia. The purpose of this study is to examine
and analyse the demographic profiles among the respondents towards the factors of cross-border marriage
among Muslims in Malaysia. The expected sample consists of 100 respondents from one selected state in
north Malaysia, bordering Thailand namely Perlis. The questionnaire survey is the main data collection
method employed in this study and further supported by semi-structured interview. Based on the findings,
the respondents are expected to adhere and abide the regulation and policy in controlling cross-border
marriage from worsening in the future.
