The Federal Court today ruled that the definition of "parent" should be plural, in its verdict in the unilateral conversion case involving the children of M Indira Gandhi and her ex-husband Ridhuan Abdullah.
This is a departure from the 2007 verdict in the case of R Subashini vs T Saravanan, which saw the wife instructed to seek recourse through the Syariah Appeals Court over her convert husband converting their children to Islam without her consent.
Thus, the court ruled that the permission of both parents is needed in changing the faith of the child, and in doing so, set aside the decision of the Court of Appeal.
