Can you marry again after you have converted to Islam or became a Muslim?
No. You cannot marry again after converting to Islam or becoming a Muslim. In the case of Malaki vs. People of the Philippines, G.R. No. 221075, 15 November 2021, the Supreme Court ruled that “ a party to a civil marriage who converts to Islam and contracts another marriage, despite the first marriage’s subsistence, is guilty of bigamy. Likewise guilty is the spouse in the subsequent marriage. Conversion to Islam does not operate to exculpate them from criminal liability.”
