Bar Council to hold forum on conversions to Islam©The Sunday Star (Used by permission)

KUALA LUMPUR: The Family Law Committee of the Bar Council Malaysia will organise a forum on issues relating to conversion to Islam.

The forum Conversion to Islam: Article 121 (1A) of the Federal Constitution, Subashini and Shamala Revisited will be held on Aug 9 at the Bar Council headquarters here.

Bar Council Malaysia Family Law Committee deputy chairman Foo Yet Ngo said it was concerned over the issue of conversion to Islam that had caused much grief and conflict.

Among the issues was that of one person converting to Islam without the knowledge of the spouse, and the conversion to Islam of the children by one parent without the knowledge and consent of the other.

“The problems are due to the conflict of jurisdiction between the Syariah and civil court in relation to divorce, child custody and distribution of property,” she said at a press conference yesterday.
