Srissarmila a/p Veeramuthu v Thienesh a/l Rajendhran

pa-33-332-08-2023 High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) 21 August 2025 • PA-33-332-08/2023

Catchwords

Crucial to note that the conduct of PW in filing the petition for nullity merely three months into the marriage, well before the expiration of the two-year period stipulated under the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976, clearly demonstrates that she did not afford RH a reasonable opportunity to consummate the marriage. Furthermore, had the parties remained married for two years, Section 106 of the LRA 1976 would have required reference to a conciliatory body in an effort to reconcile the parties. However, the early filing of nullity proceedings precluded any such attempt at reconciliation, as no such requirement exists in nullity proceedings.
