: A 37-year-old woman has filed a review application to the Federal Court in an attempt to overturn a previous ruling that affirmed her religious status as a Muslim.
In her notice of motion, the woman is requesting the Federal Court to set aside its previous 2-1 majority decision made on May 3, this year, which dismissed her appeal.In her application, the woman said the Federal Court’s majority decision was per incuriam . The woman, who was born in Selangor to a Hindu father and a Buddhist mother, claimed that she was converted to Islam by her mother in 1991 at the age of four, without her father’s consent.
On Dec 12, 2013, the woman filed a summons at the Kuala Lumpur Syariah High Court for a declaration that she was no longer a Muslim. However, the Shariah High Court dismissed her summons on July 20, 2017, and the Shariah Court of Appeal dismissed her appeal on Aug 1, 2017.
