One of the victims under the present unjust system, Indira Ghandi and her daughter Tevi have come to Parliament to observe the debate of the bill.
Her former husband K Pathmanathan, now known as Mohd Ridhuan Abdullah, became a Muslim in 2009.
Mohd Ridhuan then secured custody of their three children through the Syariah Court and obtained a declaration that they were Muslims.
However, the Ipoh High Court granted Indira Gandhi full custody of all three children and Mohd Ridhuan was ordered to return Prasana Diksa to the mother.
The police have yet to fulfil the Federal Court’s order last year to arrest Mohd Ridhuan.
Indira’s daughter has reached 18 years old and studying in UUM now. She is not sure whether she is a Muslim or a Hindu now. The worst thing is, she has applied for PTPTN loan and was rejected 3 times.
I encourage Tevi to learn from Malala in Pakistan and to speak out of her case. I told her that many people in the country are sympathetic and supportive to her and her mum.
