KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 18 — Putrajaya today announced that the solemnisation of marriages in mosques will be allowed, but with only 20 attendees, excluding the qadi (marriage official), in movement control order (MCO) states, from tomorrow.

However, Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said that related social events, including wedding receptions, still cannot be held in MCO states.

He added that the Ministry of National Unity will provide a separate brief on officiation ceremonies for non-Muslim marriages.
