The Federal Court on Monday, ruled that a spouse who converts to Islam, has no authority to convert his or her minor children, without the consent of the non-converting partner, from a civil marriage. Justice Tan Sri Zainun Ali, in delivering the apex court's unanimous judgement, which allowed M-indira Gandhi's appeal, to set aside the 2009 conversion certificates, of her three children by her ex-husband, K-pathamanathan, who has since taken the name Muhammad Riduan Abdullah, said article 12 (4), of the Federal constituton, which states that the religion of children, be determined by their “parent”, cannot be given a literal interpretation.
