KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here has allowed an application for a judicial review by single mother, Loh Siew Hong, to challenge her ex-husband’s action in registering their three children as Muslim converts without her consent.

Judge Datuk Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh, in allowing the application on Monday , said Loh had crossed the threshold to have the merits of her complaint heard."This application is not frivolous, but an arguable case. The applicant was also not out of time when she filed for the judicial review as an abundance of caution.

The three children were converted to Islam by Loh’s Muslim-convert ex-husband M. Nagahswaran without her consent on July 7, 2020.Court sets Aug 1 to decide on Loh’s time extension application in unilateral conversion case The application was filed on March 25, 2022, with the Perlis State Registrar of Converts, Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council , Perlis Mufti Datuk Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin and the Perlis state government named as the first to the fourth respondent.The four respondents had, on May 17 this year, objected to the application on the ground that Loh should have filed the application within 90 days after her children’s conversion to Islam on July 7, 2020.

The single mother is seeking a declaration that her three children are Hindus and that her ex-husband, M. Nagahswaran, did not have the legal capacity to allow the Perlis State Registrar of Converts to register the children as converts without her consent.The woman is also seeking a declaration that her three children do not have the legal capacity to convert to Islam without her consent.
