A mother of three in Malaysia had been divorced by her Muslim ex-husband for reasons unknown at the moment in the past couple of years. During the process the father had forcefully converted their three children to Islam in an effort to gain full custody. The mother M. Indira Gandhi, a Muslim herself prior, wished to convert to Christianity to marry her new boyfriend but has not been able to on the account that she does not possess the required religious documentation ordered by the Malaysian government. The court system has skirted the issue and will likely pass the case over to a Sharia court as they consider the matter of conversion to be a religious issue rather than a civil case. Since it will likely be referred to a Muslim court of law, the likelihood of her receiving the proper conversion papers are slim. She currently has custody of only one of her three children as the courts again have intervened stating they are Muslim which gives the Muslim father custody.
