IPOH: Kindergarten teacher M. Indira Gandhi says she is let down by the government’s decision not to amend the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act (LRA) to deal with unilateral conversion of minors.
Saying Pakatan Harapan had failed to keep to its pledge, she called for the decision to be reviewed.
Indira Gandhi, who was caught in a child legal custody battle with her former husband lasting about 10 years, said not everyone was as lucky as her. The Federal Court had in January last year nullified the unilateral conversion of Indira Gandhi’s three children to Islam. On Nov 21, 2016, Parliament tabled a Bill to amend the LRA with the insertion of Clause 88A but withdrew it on Aug 7, 2017, after strong objections.The amendments to the LRA included Section 51, which allows either spouse in cases where one party converted to Islam to have the marriage dissolved in the civil courts.
