Court rejects single mom’s bid to quash children's unilateral conversion
KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here rejected a single mother, Loh Siew Hong's bid to challenge the unilateral conversion to Islam of her three children without her consent by her ex-husband.

Judge Datuk Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh made the decision after ruling that there was no evidence the three children have stopped professing the religion of Islam when they are under the care of their mother.

The judge said Loh, as the applicant did not deny that her children continued professing the religion of Islam in performing the daily Subuh prayers when they are in her custody.

“So, even if the certificates of conversion are not conclusive proof, in view of its unilateral nature, the force of the evidence would suggest that the three children continued professing the religion of Islam,” he said.

The judge further said that there was no evidence that the three children have reverted to the Hindu religion.
