KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here has fixed May 11 to deliver its decision in a judicial review filed by Loh Siew Hong to contest the unilateral conversion to Islam of her three children by her ex-husband without her consent.
Justice Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh set the date after hearing submissions from parties here on Tuesday .
Srimurugan cited the case of Indira Gandhi vs the Perak Islamic Religious Affairs Department director where the Federal Court made a ruling that the unilateral conversion of minors to the religion of Islam was illegal. He said there were 13 provisions in the Constitution where the word parent or parents were used and these words must be differentiated.
Mohd Radhi said the difference between the words parent and parents was not discussed in the 2018 Indira Gandhi case."With the highest respect, the court should take it as it is," he added.
