Originally of the Hindu faith, the woman says she was unilaterally converted when still a child by her mother.
The Federal Court will hear a woman’s bid to overturn a Court of Appeal decision and reinstate a declaration by the Shah Alam High Court issued in 2021 that she was not a Muslim.
The Selangor state assistant legal adviser appeared for the government while lawyer Majdah Muda represented the Selangor Islamic Religious Council . Among others, she wants the apex court to determine whether an “invalid” shariah court order can be challenged “collaterally” in the civil courts and whether Article 121 of the Federal Constitution is applicable. The provision touches on the civil courts having no jurisdiction in shariah matters.
Born in 1986, she said the conversion took place in 1991 at the Selangor Islamic religious department’s office while her parents were in the midst of a divorce, which was finalised a year later.
