What is adultery?
My friend said “adultery is having secret relationship with someone who has married.”
Based on L B Curzon, Dictionary of Law, 4th edition, (International Law Book Services: Kuala Lumpur), 1995, “adultery” means an act of voluntary sexual intercourse (which need not be completed) between two persons not married to each other, but one or both of whom are married at the time of the act to a third person.
So is it legal to have sex with someone who is married?
There is no provision either in the Penal Code or the Criminal Procedure Code that stipulates punishment for adultery.
Meaning adultery as an act itself is not a criminal offence in Malaysia under the law.
Enticing Away a Married Woman Is illegal
However, Section 498 of the Penal Code provides for the punishment for the offence of enticing or taking away or detaining with a criminal intent a married woman.
Section 498 Penal Code:
“Whoever takes or entices away any woman who is and whom he knows, or has reason to believe, to be the wife of any other man, from that man, or from any person having the care of her on behalf of that man, with intent that she may have illicit intercourse with any person, or conceals, or detains with that intent any such woman, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine, or with both.”
It is very interesting to see that, in fact, only man who takes or entices away any married woman may be charged under this provision. This similar provision does not apply to woman who entices or takes away a married man.
That means if a woman entices a married man, she will not be held guilty under this provision of law. Unfair? well, I think the law presumes that ALL women are good and decent, they will never entice a married man. This may (may not) be true in the ancient time, but I definitely don’t think it is true now a day. haha!
So MAN, please watch out for the law when you want to have a “2nd woman” out of your family. 2 years jail is “no play play”.
For your information, even though adultery is not a crime under the criminal law, adultery can be evidence of irretrievably breakdown of a marriage, which is a ground for the presentation of a divorce petition by a petitioner under the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976 (refer to section 53 and 54 of the same Act). However, most people always find it hard to prove it in court.

legal or illegal, my wife warned me of pain of castration if ever she found me with another girl… so far so good, she has not find out yet
yahooooooo!
5 Michelle // Mar 26, 2008 at 10:50 am
Eddie, I tend to think the law was more likely written in a time when maried women were considered to be the “property” of their husbands. Hence, a crime was committed when someone enticed or detained a man’s property and’ took’ what was ‘rightfully’ his.
However, if a man chose to let himself be enticed or detained for such a purpose … no harm, no foul. And certainly no ‘crime’ was seen to have been committed against the wife. Interesting view of the world, isn’t it?
6 Eddie Law // Mar 27, 2008 at 12:54 am
X – distributing sex video no matter in what format is definitelty in contradiction of the law in Malaysia. I can’t recall the specific provision off hand. I will check it out in due course.
orang china – thanks. Hope to see you around.
Michelle – I think you are absolutely right. In fact, your learned comment makes my bell rings. Yah, that should be the true historical reason behind the specific provision. I stand corrected.

So having sex with a married woman is not illegal…but enticing her away from her husband is?? That seems odd to me
8 x // Apr 1, 2008 at 10:11 am
thanks eddie, but i was more like thinking for the couple own use but then discovered by someone else. not for the purpose of distribution.

Probate Will – don’t forget it is still immoral
x- i guess if one was caught to be in possession of obscene material that itself is an offence too.
10 Poor Wife // Apr 9, 2008 at 4:24 pm
I just discovered that my husband has an affair out there and he has no intention to leave the girl (still single). I have 2 kids with my husband, the 1st one (daughther) is 5 yrs while the 2nd (son) is 11 months. I called my husband’s girl friend to leave my husband but she refuse. May I know 1. what is the punishment for the single lady who seduce other woman’s husband under malaysian law. 2. What about the married man who has an affair out there?
11 Eddie Law // Apr 13, 2008 at 12:23 am
Poor Wife- I am sorry to say that there is no law in Malaysia punishing a married man to have an affair with a single woman and vice versa. Perhaps it is advisable for you and your husband to seek for professional counseling in order to recover the marriage.
12 Yee // Apr 14, 2008 at 1:07 pm
From your article above, it seems that if a man had an affair with another man’s wife, he can be punished, right? How do we gain the evidence to charge the “having affair husband”? What if both of them denied? Should PI helps?
13 Eddie Law // Apr 14, 2008 at 2:03 pm
Yee- what do you mean by PI? Private Investigator may help.

I’m going to file a single petition dirvorce with my wife (taiwanese).we have 1 daughter 6yrs old which is going to stay with her in taiwan.
the reason i’m filing single petition because she is asking for 6K monthly expenses,my condo and 30K cash which I cannot afford. Can you please advice?
20 Eddie Law // Sep 24, 2008 at 5:06 pm
James – there are 2 approaches your friend may consider – 1st and the preferred method is to get a consent from her husband to divorce and negotiate with the husband on the amount of monthly maintanence. This will save time and cost for everyone. If the husband doesn’t agree then 2nd is to file a single petition to get a divorce, the court will only grant such order if your friend can prove the ground of divorce. Adultery is one of the element of it.
The question of maintenance is depend on case to case basic. It is hard for me to tell you here.
S – your question is too general and I am not sure in what aspect you want me to help you. I would suggest you to engage a lawyer to ahve a face to face advice. However, as I said earlier, in order to success in a single petition matter, you need to prove you have the valid ground of divorce.
21 Hola Hola // Sep 29, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Eddie Law ,
what is the minimum proof of adultery if i wanted to sue the guy that having affair with my wife and my wife was admit she had sex with him before.
is it photo of kissing , hugging enough to prove them adultery with supporting of MSN conversation of them that they already had intercourse.
22 clay // Oct 4, 2008 at 10:57 pm
My friend’s husband recently confessed he had been having an affair with another girl (verbally & in sms which she has kept). Although he has sought to reconcile with her, she is unable to continue with the marriage, & is therefore seeking a divorce.
I know my friend is self-sufficient in terms of career & finances, but is adultery sufficient grounds for her to seek any form of alimony?
Also, there is the issue of property (a house purchased in both names), in which both parties have been paying for. If the downpayment was paid by her husband, but both had been servicing interest payments for the last 2 years(the house is not ready), what happens to the property post-divorce?
23 Eddie Law // Oct 17, 2008 at 11:07 pm
Hola Hola – after checking with a senior lawyer, she said :
“There must be evidence of a relationship or evidence on proximity showing that they were in compromising position. Sometimes there may be issue and this is sufficient to establish adultery.”
24 Bad Husband // Oct 22, 2008 at 5:16 am
Dear Eddie,
I had a brief affair (2 months) with a Chinese girl early this year. My wife found out and intends to file for divorce soon. She told me that I’ll go to jail for my action. The girl has since returned to China and we’ve lost contact completely. I know I’ve done something shameful and regret it, but my marriage is gone. Do I have to go to jail as a consequence of my action? I’m really concerned for my reputation as I’m a businessman.
Bad Husband
25 Eddie Law // Oct 25, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Bad Husband – as far as I know there is no offence under the law to have sex with someone who is above 16 years old (with consent, of course). Since you did not marry the Chinese girl, hence, bigamy doesn’t apply in your case as well.

29 Law Student // Nov 27, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Dear Eddie,
Hope you could help me out on this one.
Do you know of any other causes of actions that are available to the WIFE if she wants to sue the MISTRESS/HUSBAND’S PARAMOUR?
Is it only via s58 Law Reform (Marriage & Divorce) Act 1976 where the Wife has to:
i) File a Divorce Petition against her Husband;
ii) Add the Mistress/Husband’s Paramour as a CO-Respondent; and
iii) Sue for Damages against her ?
I read about a cause of action developed by UK common law called the Tort of Enticement, which is applicable in Malaysia by virtue of s3 Civil Law Act 1956. According to case law, it is applicable to both Wife AND Husband. However, it must be proven that the 3rd party has induced the Spouse to leave and go on to live with the 3rd party.
I managed to find only these two causes of actions. It would be GREAT is you know of any others that are also available.
For example, what if the WIFE wants to sue the 3rd Party without getting divorced with her Husband, but there is no evidence of any enticement whatsoever? Is there a cause of action open to the Wife in such a situation?

I knew that my wife is having an affair with her ex boyfriend, if I can furnish proof that they are committing adultery and initiates divorce, do I have to pay her alimony?
What about the house that we owned under join name but the down payment and the monthly payment is paid for by me, can she claim half a share on that?
Also my yougest kid is already 17 year old, do I still have to pay maintenance fee for her if my wife get custody of her?
Thanks //Ong

if my friend had got the permission from tribunal court that issue stated that their mariage cannot continue anymore 2years ago. And after these two years , is it means that they had divorce automatically.? ps advise
34 xes // May 6, 2009 at 9:51 pm
Wow this is a popular topic!
35 Eddie Law // May 16, 2009 at 6:27 pm
Law Student – off the cuff I am not too sure if there is any other cause of action available. perhaps you could enlighten us when you have found out any.
Tania – if they have already divorced, then adultery will not be a concern anymore undetr the Family law.
Elle – if both parties are unmarried and above 16 years old and consented to have sex, I don’t think there is any offence in it. If the man is married then the wife may use this as a element to prove the ground of divorce. As far as Muslim law is concerned, I must profess that I don’t have much knowledge.
Ong – I will reply to your queries shortly.
xinee – I am not sure if your friend had attended the marriage reconciliation tribunal under JPN. if yes, then it is not so-called “automatic divorce”, your friend still need to go to court to apply for an order for the divorce.
xes – yes, I guess many couple face this problem and internet is the “most secure” way to turn for help.

She had submitted her form to JPN for marriage reconciliation tribunal. And, it must be done within 6 mths. Is it compulsory to attend the tribunal? What will happen if Counselor appointed by JPN, in my sister’s case the person-in-charge of the Association, refused to tackle their case? Can my sister forgo her case after the 6 mths? Pls advise. Thnx!

My wife is filing a divorce, and using staements that I have slept with my maid as areason of adultery.
My maid told me that my wife had brought her to see a lawyer, where the lawyer had threaten her (My maid) that if she lies she might be put into jail. I was told by my maid that, my wife had threaten her that she will be sent off if she disagree. As such she had told the lawyer that she had slept with me.
Question:
1.Do my wife have a valid reason to file a divorce.
2. What is the punishment and the law act for threatening the maid to my wife and the lawyer if i were to file a case against them.
My wife is eager to file a divorce as she feels that i am siding to my parents too much and wnat me to cut off the relationship with them if I were to stay with her. Of course i had denied her request.
My mom and my wife, sisters do not get along and ever since we have been staying separately.

I do not have any photo to state that he has mistress, but all his friends know and some of the mistress’s colleagues know their relationship.
39 Clayton // Jun 23, 2009 at 7:47 pm
I had a friend whose GF is having a affair with a Malaysian Muslim man, thats old enough to be a DAD, assume to be married with some good establisment of house or family.
Benefit of doubt, to sue that malaysian MAN, with adultery with the help of the man’s wife. ??
but worry is that the man could be the only income, being housewife, might not accept the challenge of court case.
its really loose loose situation.

42 Derrick Chan // Aug 22, 2009 at 12:43 am
Dear Eddie,
I am wondering how come Wong Kian Keong can take over the AGC’s job in prosecuting a section under the Penal Code.
As far as I know, Wong Kian Keong is no longer a DPP and is a private practitioner now.
Did the AG appoint Wong Kian Keong to prosecute the case?
It seems to me (if the AG did not appoint Wong) that this is private prosecution.
Is there any provision in Malaysian law that provides for this? If so, which Act? which section?
What is the limit of such a law? Can I privately prosecute someone for theft or murder?
Please enlighten me. I am very confused.
43 Eddie Law // Aug 22, 2009 at 1:00 am
Derrick,
I am not very sure about the fact of the case neither if this is a private prosecution case.
However, the relevant provisions in relation to institution of criminal proceedings are provided in sections 128 – 132 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
Pls take note especially section 132, which states:
“No Court shall take cognisance of an offence under section 498 of the penal Code except upon a complaint made by the hisband of the woman.”

Q2: Are below proofs enough to charge a man with the section?
1: Phone conversation which clearly proves the man is living together with my wife. (However the woman is my friend giving helping voice and the call was made using my wife’s phone no. )
2. Pictures of them in intimates poses (mouth kissing & wife nude with nasty writing over her body which include an appartment name)
Q3: Can I sue this man since the section provides punishment?

Does having bedroom relationship with this women will fall under this category although the woman lives with her parent at this moment…

Hi Eddie, I have an Indian staff who had registered her marriage with her boyfriend for about 1/2 year, but has not gone through the Indian marraige rites. They live apart, and hardly meet up. Now the husband wants to divorce her and wants to lodge a police report (so as to keep her away). She is perplexed why he wants to do that and why he wants a divorce. Is this a tactic to ensure that he does not have to pay alimony.
Kindly advise. Thank you

59 Shan // Mar 29, 2010 at 8:31 pm
Hi Eddie,
Thanks for your info. Find it really useful at times like these; my sister’s seeking a divorce based on irreconcilable differences: adultery being one of them. She’s been through marriage counselling provided last year but the husband seems to be going back to his old ways these past few months.
He has accuse her of fooling around as well; based on her working & social life; she’s a designer and hance has male co-workers & friends. He wants 100% custody of their 4 yr old daughter as he has accuse her of being an unfit mother, and has threaten her that “this will get ugly if it gets to court/judge”. Which makes me laugh as all these while she has been working hard to help him pay off his financial debts (she signs herself has his guarantor) while he hardly ever comes home to spend time with their daughter while she is a wake.
My question now is:
1) Will he get punish for threatening her?
2) Can she withdraw her name from being a financial guarantor?
3) In your opinion, will custody be granted to the father in this case; being financially incapable of repaying his debt?
Kindly advice. Thank you

Its been four months, they haven’t sent my stuff yet and have stopped communicating. Is there any hope of getting my things. I don’t even know where to begin .

Hi Eddie,
I’m in dire need for advice. I was married 3 years ago and our life was just like any other happy couple. A few months ago my wife knew this colleague that treats her very well. She denied that they have anything going on between them and they are just friends. Until recently, she started to behave differently towards me and she called the guy almost everyday and sometimes in the middle of the night. They should talk for more than 30 min. Also, she did not come back home twice. She also lied about her whereabouts, which I caught her. We have no kids but have a house under both our names. How can I protect myself and what proof can I attained in order to file a divorce. Is voice recording and phone listing enough to proof in court in my favour?
Thanks in advance Eddie.

I am married to my husband in Sarawak for 6 years. I have 2 kids.Recently i saw my husband with a lady and a small kid. How can i find out whether my husband has married again legally? Without marriage the kid would not be able to get her birth certificate.

Dear Eddie
I’m married wt my husband for 10 yrs. we don’t have any children. abt 4 mths ago, i found out that he got involve wt his colleague. she was a divorcee. they got very close to the extend she even ask my husband to buy milk powder for her son, sms my husband to go to her hse for dinner, cook lunch to office for my husband & my husband will give her a ride home by motorcycle almost daily after work. until today my husband still deny their relationship. my husband & i quarrel a few times bcos of that. there was a few times i asked my husband to stop doing what he’s doing & be a responsible husband but he won’t listen & now he even ask for divorce. even though he was in the wrong, my in-laws & my husband chase me out from the hse saying that “i will only cause them embarrassment if the neighbors heard me & my husband quarrel almost daily”.
I hv moved out 2 mths ago & renting a room & my husband DIDN’T even pay a cent. now my husband is delaying the divorce process. maybe bcos he refuse to pay me maint. fee of RM600 per month & dispose of the car (i was the guarantor). his mother once told me that even AFTER signing the divorce paper & my husband DON’T PAY me a cent, i CANNOT do anything abt it. since the day i married him, i hv been working to support myself & even help out when he don’t hv enough money or when his family needs money.
Is asking RM600 per month too much? he’s earning s’pore $1600 (incl. allowance) per mth & after the conversion, his salary is 3 times higher than my salary. i work in m’sia. i understand that i can sue him if he refuse to pay me the maint fee after signing the paper but what abt the legal fees for suing him? he hv to pay or i hv to pay myself? if he drag the divorce for half year to a year, can i ask him to pay the maint frm the day i was chase out until the day the divorce paper sign?
thank you.
