Faculty of Islamic Studies and Social Science, Universiti Sultan Azlan Shah, Malaysia Description This article examines the dissolution procedure of Muslim marriages in Indonesia and Malaysia by comparing legal bases, judicial pathways, and the issuance of official divorce documents. The study is motivated by procedural differences between Indonesia’s Religious Courts and Malaysia’s Syariah Courts, particularly in how divorce becomes legally valid, administratively registered, and documentarily provable. Using a qualitative comparative case-study design with a normative juridical approach, the article analyzes legislation, official procedural guidance, court-administration materials, and recent academic literature. The findings show that Indonesia adopts a nationally centralized Religious Court model, while Malaysia applies a state-based Syariah Court model involving judicial confirmation and registration through State Islamic Religious Departments. Reconciliation, mediation, counselling, and Sulh function as procedural safeguards in both systems. The article argues that legal certainty in Muslim divorce depends on procedural completion: legal basis, court validation, administrative registration, and official divorce documentation.
