A class of exact solutions to the source-free Brans-Dicke Maxwell field equations is obtained which reduces to the Majumdar-Papapetrou class of solutions when the Brans-Dicke scalar phi = constant. It has been observed that these solutions are important from the viewpoint of verifying Penrose's suggestion which states that the black holes in the Brans-Dicke theory are identical to those of Einstein's theory.
