A case similar to this one -- which sheds light on why the husband is able to do this.
From Kyodo News (thanks to Twostellas):
PUTRAJAYA — A Malaysian Hindu woman began her final bid Monday to get Malaysia's top court to prevent her estranged husband from converting their son to Islam.
The story goes on to say that this case is being closely watched, as it deals with the increasingly vexed question of the overlap between Sharia and civil law.
Again? And where would much of the world be, if not for the West's shared legacy of civil law--the Thirteenth Century?
...and there are non Muslim countries that want to allow Shar'ia law in Muslim communities in their countries.....What a terrible mistake this is.....it allows Muslims to take over the countries inch by inch.....
.....it you want to be able to maintain stability, you must begin by Banning Muslim Immigration....
....and women should never Marry Muslim Men....period...never....A Muslim marriage is a death sentence....
And this is a "moderate" Muslim country
That's a death sentence for sure! I hope she can and may stop them!
