: A 37-year-old woman gets a nod from the Federal Court to proceed with her appeal against a Court of Appeal decision to reinstate her as a Muslim.

Federal Court judges Datuk Zabariah Mohd Yusof and Datuk Mary Lim Thiam Suan were the other two judges presiding with Justice Abdul Rahman who heard the woman’s leave to appeal application today. Among the questions of law were if a Syariah Court order is invalid, can that order be challenged collaterally in the Civil High Court and whether Article 121 of the Federal Constitution is applicable.

On Dec 21, 2021, the High Court in Shah Alam allowed the woman’s suit and declared that she is not a Muslim. On Jan 13 this year, however, the Court of Appeal, in a 2-1 majority decision allowed the appeals by MAIS and the Selangor state government to reinstate the woman as Muslim.
