PUTRAJAYA: The Islamic conversion of five children by their Muslim-convert father in 2018 without the consent of their non-Muslim mother remains invalid, after the Federal Court dismissed the application by the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) and its Registrar of Muallaf for leave to appeal to reinstate the Islamic conversion of the children.

Without the leave, the decision made by the Court of Appeal and the High Court in nullifying the children's conversion to Islam stands.

In Indira Gandhi’s case in 2018, the Federal Court ruled that the consent of both the father and mother were required to change the children's religion to Islam. She named her former husband, the chairman of Mais, the Registrar of Muallaf, the Director-General of the Ministry of Education Malaysia, the Government of Malaysia as defendants.
